Asus2                                 EWith paradise no longer fit for you to live in
C#m             Bsus2Your adolescent dreams are gone 
Asus2                               EThrough the days you feel a little used up
C#m                         Bsus2Don't know where your energy's gone wrong
Asus2                          EJust your soul feeling a little downhearted
C#m                            Bsus2Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
Asus2                         ECount your friends all on one finger
C#m                                             Bsus2   (x24422)I know it sounds crazy, it's just the way that we live   


...until the "energy's gone wrong" line and then the muted turns into

End with an x24422 with the "we live"/"swing past" lines

Chorus-
          Asus2       EBetween a laugh and a tear
C#m                    Bsus2Smile in the mirror as you walk by
          Asus2       EBetween a laugh and a tear
          C#m                             Bsus2                        Asus2That's as good as it gets for us but that ain't no reason to stop trying
