Dear Tragedy

Bm Bm  Bm A G D Bm A G D


[Verse]
Bm                        A
I'm never waking up again so I'll never have to find out what you did
G
Each day it's harder to pretend
          F#m
That your eyes aren't lying as much as your mouth did
Bm
I'd grab your head by your hair and I'd hack it off
A
And put it on display at the front of the yard
G
On a stick that's decorated with a little pink bow and a sign that says
     F#m                                       D                 B Bm A E
"Her friends and family should have taught her more about love."

           G Bb A D
Dear Tragedy,
                Bm
I never had anybody
                       E                       A
But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed
      Bm
With a breath taker,
A
A smile faker
D                                    A
These years alone have eaten me alive

Bm
Recounting pages in a book
Continues after the ad
      A
That I'd torn out ashamed that one day you'd look
G
Afraid that once you did you'd really know how it felt
                     F#m                                             Bm
To be a sucker on a string that you dragged around wherever you'd go
                                      A
I'm running around, around and it hurts
A
Tempted to tape up the pages I'd ripped
    G
And although I recognize that we're attached at the lips,
                 F#m                                                     D
You're the one in charge and that the captain's gotta sink with the ship

                Bm
I never had anybody
Bm                     E                       A
But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed
      Bm
With a breath taker,
A
A smile faker
D                                    A
These years alone have eaten me alive

Breath taker,

Smile faker,
            Em                 A
How could I have let you in my life?

You're a breath taker,
