John Cougar Mellencamp – Between A Laugh And A Tear tab
Chords:
My first tab -- I'm fairly new to this -- but it's a good jump-off point. Not too with how long the C is held before moving to Cadd9, but play around and find what you like. 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 dont know where your energys gone wrong G C Its 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 thats as good as it can get for us G D C And there aint 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 dont seem to mean anything to you now G C Just try to live each and every precious moment Cadd9 Dont be discouraged by the future forget the past G C Thats old advice but itll be good to you Cadd9 I know theres 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 thats as good as it can get for us G D C And there aint 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 thats as good as it can get for us G D C And there aint no reason to stop tryin G C Cadd9 When paradise can no longer amuse you.....
