Chords

Capo on Fret 3 Here is a video of me playing this tab; you can hear how it sounds and get the rhythm: --- [Intro] ( C G Am G F ) [Verse 1] ( Am G C F Am G F )
Am
on the edges of the sharpest knives

G
in the middle of the darkest nights

C
always knew that i would find you here

F
in a puddle of the bravest tears

Am
i've seen enough to know

     G                F
it's lonely where you are
[Pre-Chorus 1] ( C F G )
C                     F
above the crowd, feet dangling

       G
from a rooftop

               C
she waits from ledges

      F                 G
for a voice to talk her down
[Chorus 1] ( C G Am G F ) and nothing matters but the
C
pain when you're alone

                 G
the never-ending nights
when you're awake
            Am
when you're praying

     G              F
that tomorrow it's ok
there will be a time to
C
crack another smile

            G
maybe not today or for awhile

          Am
but we're holding on to

G             F
laugh again someday
laugh again someday [Verse 2] ( Am G C F Am G F )
Am
all that matters is the time we had

G
doesn't matter how it all went bad

C
never wonder what it might be like

F
shut the door, say goodbye

Am
when faced with tragedy

G                       F
we come alive or come undone
[Pre-Chorus 2] ( C F G )
           C
don't look back

       F                 G
let it shape you like an ocean

         C
even the deepest scars

F            G
in time will fade
[Chorus 2] ( C G Am G F ) and nothing matters but the
C
pain when you're alone

       G
or the nights when your awake

Am             G            F
praying that tomorrow it's ok
there will be a time
   C
to crack another smile

            G
maybe not today or for awhile

          Am
but we're holding on

   G             F
to laugh again someday

          Am
but we're holding on

   G             F
to laugh again someday
[Post-Chorus] ( C F Am G C F G F ) C G
    C                 F
sometimes you have to go back

   Am                       G
to know just where you have been

          C
but we're old enough

   F
to know that

     G
what has been will be again

     F
and again
[Bridge] ( F G Am C F G ) G Am C F G Am C
        F          G
and the bravest of faces

        Am            C
are the ones where we fake it

       F             G
in the roles that we play
[Chorus 3] ( C G Am G F ) but nothing matters when
    C
the pain is all but gone

             G
when you are finally awake

            Am           G
despite the overwhelming odds;

         F
tomorrow came
and when they see
    C
you crack a smile

          G
and you decide to stay awhile

          Am
you'll be ready then

          F
to laugh again
nothing matters but the pain
C
we are tragedy

G
we are sympathy

Am      G                F
you see what you want to see

C
we are misery

G
and distant memories

Am         G               F
but we all learn to laugh again
