Ab       Db   Ab        
Some say it's destiny
Db                  Ab
Whether triumph or tragedy
Db                                 Ab
But I believe we cast our nets out on the sea
Eb
And nothing we gather

Comes for free

Db                                 Ab
I would have paid down through the years
Db                           Ab
A price beyong rubies beyond tears
            Eb
To keep you safe with me
Db                          Ab
But your suspicion and your fear
Db                     Ab            Eb
Your vow to let nobody near was your trinity
       Db Ab   Db Ab
Such a tragedy
Ab         Db        Ab
I drew the best hand you'd ever hold
Db                         Ab
Then cashed my winnings in long ago
Db                     Ab
Settled for silver how could I know
Eb                
You were waiting with the gold
Db                                 Ab   
I could have caused your heart to yield
          Db                         Ab
But I was only a disturbance in the field
Eb
Of your dreams
Db                       Ab
And I will never see you cry
Db                          Ab
You won't be with me when I die
            Eb
A waste of you and me
  Db Ab   Db Ab
A tragedy
Eb
We took the wrong train to
Ab
Kingdom come now
Eb
No more damage
Ab
Can be done baby
Fm                 Db          Ab
It's just what the world don't need
Ab                   Eb    Ab  Db Ab Db Ab Db Ab Db Ab Eb
It's another stinkin tragedy
Db                   Ab
That's how the story goes
Db                        Ab
Our chapter's coming to a close
       Eb
We are history
Db                         Ab
But I will always think of you
Db                          Ab
Every day until my days are through
         Eb
You made me believe
   Db Ab
In tragedy
