C Am F G A F Bm
C Am F G A Bm Em
Am
On the edges of the sharpest knives
F
In the middle of the darkest nights
C
Always knew that I would find you here
G
In a puddle of the bravest tears

A                             F                    Bm
I've seen enough to know it's lonely where you are
Above the crowd
A                             F
Feet dangling from a rooftop (a rooftop)
               A            F                 Bm                  Em
She waits from ledges for a voice to talk her down

C(palm muted)            C
Nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
             G
Never-ending nights when you're awake
            A             F            Bm
When you're praying that tomorrow it's okay
                        C
There will be a time to crack another smile
           G
Maybe not today or for a while
          A              Bm              Em
But we're holding on to laugh again some day
To laugh again some day

A Bm Em

Am
All that matters is the time we had
F
Doesn't matter how it all went bad
C
Never wonder what it might be like
G
Shut the door, say goodbye

A (palm muted)
When faced with tragedy
                          F            Bm
We come alive or come undone
                    A                        F                 F
So don't hold back, let it shape you like an ocean
                  A    Bm              Em
Even the deepest scars in time will fade

C(palm muted)           C
Nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
             G
Never-ending nights when you're awake
            A            F             Bm
When you're praying that tomorrow it's okay
                        C
There will be a time to crack another smile
          G
Maybe not today or for a while
          A             Bm                Em
But we're holding on to laugh again some day
To laugh again some day

Am
And sometimes you have to go back
F
To know just where you were then
C
But we're old enough to know that
G                                              A             F             Bm
What has been, will be again and again

A Bm Em


Am                 F             C              G
And the bravest of faces are the ones where we fake it
Am                    Bm (hold)
And the roles that we play]


C (palm muted)
Nothing matters when the pain is all but gone
F(palm muted)
When you are finally awake
             Am          Bm             Em
Despite the overwhelming odds, tomorrow came


Am
And when they see you crack a smile
F
And you decide to stay a while
C                              G
You'll be ready then, to laugh again

                        C
Nothing matters but the pain
        Am     F              G      A
(We are tragedy, yeah, we are sympathy)
(keep playing A)
Nothing matters but the pain

A        F               Bm
You see what you want to see

                        C
Nothing matters but the pain
        Am   F            G    A
(We are misery, a distant memory)
A
Nothing matters but the pain
A        F               Bm
We all learned to laugh again
       A      F          Bm
Yeah, we all learned to laugh again
A       Bm               Em
We all learned to laugh again
