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
