G	            C
When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in
Cadd9
And your adolescent dreams are gone
G                          C
Through the days you feel a little used up
Cadd9
And you don’t know where your energy’s gone wrong
G                             C
It’s just your soul feelin’ a little downhearted
Cadd9
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
G                            C
You count your friends all on one finger
Cadd9
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live


Chorus:

G                    D
Between a laugh and a tear
C
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
G D Between a laugh and a tear C And that’s as good as it can get for us G D C And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ G C When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you Cadd9 You see through everything and nothin’ seems worthwhile G C And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you Cadd9 And it don’t seem to mean anything to you now G C Just try to live each and every precious moment Cadd9 Don’t be discouraged by the future forget the past G C That’s 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 D Between a laugh and a tear C Smile in the mirror as you walk by G D Between a laugh and a tear C And that’s as good as it can get for us G D C And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ G D Between a laugh and a tear C Smile in the mirror as you walk by G D Between a laugh and a tear C And that’s as good as it can get for us G D C And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ G C Cadd9 When paradise can no longer amuse you...
