My first tab -- I'm fairly new to this -- but it's a good jump-off point. Not too
with how long the C is held before moving to Cadd9, but play around and find what you like.


G (320003@1)           CWhen (x32010@1)paradise is no longer fit for you to live in
Cadd9
And your adolescent dreams are gone
G (320003@1)                        CThrough (x32010@1)the days you feel a little used up
Cadd9
And you don't know where your energy's gone wrong
G (320003@1)                           CIt's (x32010@1)just your soul feelin' a little downhearted
Cadd9
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
G (320003@1)                          CYou (x32010@1)count your friends all on one finger
Cadd9
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live


Chorus:

G (320003@1)                  DBetween (xx0232@1)a laugh and a tear
CSmile (x32010@1)in the mirror as you walk by
G (320003@1)                  DBetween (xx0232@1)a laugh and a tear
CAnd (x32010@1)that's as good as it can get for us
                                    G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1) CAnd (x32010@1)there ain't no reason to stop tryin'


G (320003@1)                          CWhen (x32010@1)this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
Cadd9
You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile
G (320003@1)                             CAnd (x32010@1)hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
Cadd9
And it don't seem to mean anything to you now
G (320003@1)                       CJust (x32010@1)try to live each and every precious moment
Cadd9
Don't be discouraged by the future forget the past
G (320003@1)                   CThat's (x32010@1)old advice but it'll be good to you
Cadd9
I know there's a balance see it when I swing past


Chorus (x2):

G (320003@1)                  DBetween (xx0232@1)a laugh and a tear

CAnd (x32010@1)that's as good as it can get for us
                                    G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1) CAnd (x32010@1)there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
