[VERSE 1]
Ebm                                   Bb/D
      When times are hard you ask for sweeter tunes
Ebm                                        Bb/D
      When days are tough the nights bring full saloons
Gb/Db                                Ab/C
      But when I swing and change to mi - nor chords
Abm/Cb                              Ebm/Bb Bbsus4 Bb
      That's when the audience goes wild


[CHORUS 1] - start on n.c.
               Ebm
Here comes the tragedy
             Bb/D
The sound of a - gony
              Bbm/Db
The tears you love  to cry
                       Ab/C
The pain that wants no remedy
       Abm/Cb
People tell  me they like me to smile
      Ebm/Bb
Bring joy   and relief for awhile
                 F
But when all the music starts
                       Ebm/Bb   n.c.
They love the sound of tragedy
               Ebm
Here comes the tragedy
             Bb7/D
The death of harmony
              Bbm/Db
The tears you love  to cry
                       Ab/C   Ab
The pain that fights serenity
       Abm7/Cb
People tell   me they like me to smile
      Ebm/Bb
Bring joy   and relief for awhile
                 F                  Bbsus4  Bb   Ebm
Deep inside your heart you want the tra  -  ge - dy


[VERSE 2]
Ebm                                    Bb/D
      I walk the stage and sing you've got a friend
Ebm                               Bb/D
      I find applause towards the happy end
Gb/Db                                Ab/C        Ab
      But when I swing and change to minor chords
Abm/Cb                              Ebm/Bb Bbsus4 Bb
      That's when the audience goes wild

The pain that wants no remedy
       Abm7/Cb
People tell   me they like me to smile
      Ebm/Bb
Bring joy   and relief for awhile

Deep in your heart you want the tra  -  ge - dy
