Intro: Db Ab (4x)
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

We took the wrong train to

Kingdom come now

No more damage

Can be done baby

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

Our chapter's coming to a close

Every day until my days are through

You made me believe

In tragedy
