COMEDY & TRAGEDY
As recorded by Catie Turner
(From the 2023 EP COMEDY & TRAGEDY: ACT 1)
Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I got a lot from my mother
G
Her eyes and her sense of humor
C
So when she told me Dad had cancer
G
I asked "How big's the tumor?"
G
'Cause insurance gives out more money
G
You can finally buy that new car
C
And sure, you're gonna lose your husband
G
But you can kiss strangers at the bar
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 G
And oh, then I cried
Am7 G
Such a poorly timed punchline
[Chorus]
C G Em
I keep using comedy when no one thinks it's funny
C G
To make light of all the tragedy
Em
The things I'm scared to stomach
C G Em
'Cause what a cruel reality if this song outlives my dad?
Am7 D G
And there's no joke I can make to bring him back
[Verse 2]
G
I tell him that he's getting skinny
G
Just had to go and steal my thunder
C
As the sick one in the family
G
I'm the daughter with the eating disorder
G
I won't have him at my wedding
G
Threw a wrench in all my plans
C
To use my special day as leverage
D
And force him into a dance
[Chorus]
C G Em
I keep using comedy when no one thinks it's funny
C G
To make light of all the tragedy
Em
The things I'm scared to stomach
C G E7
'Cause what a cruel reality if this song outlives my dad?
Am7 D G
And there's no joke I can make to bring him back
C D G Em
I keep using comedy and maybe that's my problem
C G
That I make light of the tragedy
Em
But this time I don't want to
C G Em
'Cause what a cruel reality that this song outlives my dad
Am D G
And there's no joke I can make to bring him back
[Outro]

Love you, bye
