[ Intro ]
E  B A  B C#m  B  A 
E  B A  B C#m  B  E

C#m
 On the edges of the sharpest knives,
B
 In the middle of the darkest nights,
G#m
 Always knew that I would find you here
A
 In a puddle of the bravest tears
C#m                            B                A
 I've seen enough to know it's lonely where you are

          G#m        A               B
Above the crowd feet dangling from a rooftop
               G#m          A                 B        
She waits from ledges for a voice to talk her down


[ Chorus ]
                        E
Nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
    B            A                        B
The never-ending nights when you're awake
            C#m            B           A
When you're praying that tomorrow its okay
                        E
There will be a time to crack another smile
B           A                 B
Maybe not today or for awhile
C#m                    B               A       B               E/G#m
But were holding on to laugh again someday (to laugh again someday)

G#m A C#m B G#m A

C#m
All that matters is the time we had
B
Doesn't matter how it all went bad
G#m
Never wonder what it might be like
A
Shut the door say goodbye
C#m
When faced with tragedy
B                       A
We come alive or come undone

              G#m          A                 B
So don't look back, let it shape you like an ocean
         G#m          A             B
Even the deepest scars in time will fade


[ Chorus ]
                        E
Nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
    B            A                        B
The never-ending nights when you're awake
            C#m            B           A
When you're praying that tomorrow its okay
                        E
There will be a time to crack another smile
B           A                 B
Maybe not today or for awhile
C#m                    B               A
But were holding on to laugh again someday
          C#m           B           A       B
(Now were holding on to laugh again someday)

A E B

        G#m       A       C#m     B
And sometimes you have to go back,
   G#m       A              B
To know just where you have been
         G#m  A        C#m      B
But were old enough to know that
     G#m      A        B         A     B
What has been will be again (and again)

C#m E A B C#m 

        A          B             C#m           B
And the bravest of faces are the ones where we fake it
        A          B
And the roles that we play

[ Chorus B ]
                         E
Nothing matters when the pain is all but gone
When you are finally awake
Despite the overwhelming odds tomorrow came
And when they see you crack a smile
And you decide to stay awhile
You'll be ready then to laugh again

[ Chorus C ]
Nothing matters but the pain
(We are tragedy, yeah we are sympathy)
Nothing matters but the pain, and you see what you want to see
Nothing matter but the pain
(We are misery, a distant memory)

                        C#m             B        A
Nothing matters but the pain but we all learn to laugh again
C#m          B               A
 Yeah we all learn to laugh again
C#m        B               A~
 Oh we all learn to laugh again
