Db Ab 4x
[Ab]Some say [Db]it's [Ab]destiny
[Db]Whether triumph or t[Ab]ragedy
[Db]But I believe we cast our nets out [Ab]on the sea
[Eb]And nothing we gather
Comes for free
[Db]I would have paid down through the [Ab]years
[Db]A price beyong rubies beyond [Ab]tears
To keep you [Eb]safe with me
[Db]But your suspicion and your [Ab]fear
[Db]Your vow to let nobody [Ab]near was your [Eb]trinity
Such a [Db]tra[Ab]gedy[Db][Ab]
[Ab]I drew the [Db]best hand [Ab]you'd ever hold
[Db]Then cashed my winnings in [Ab]long ago
[Db]Settled for silver how [Ab]could I know
[Eb]You were waiting with the gold
[Db]I could have caused your heart to y[Ab]ield
But I was [Db]only a disturbance in the f[Ab]ield
[Eb]Of your dreams
[Db]And I will never see you [Ab]cry
[Db]You won't be with me when I [Ab]die
A waste of y[Eb]ou and me
A [Db]tra[Ab]gedy[Db][Ab]
[Eb]We took the wrong train to
[Ab]Kingdom come now
[Eb]No more damage
[Ab]Can be done baby
[Fm]It's just what the [Db]world don't [Ab]need
[Ab]It's another stinkin [Eb]traged[Ab]y[Db][Ab][Db][Ab][Db][Ab][Db][Ab][Eb]
[Db]That's how the story [Ab]goes
[Db]Our chapter's coming to a [Ab]close
We are [Eb]history
[Db]But I will always think of [Ab]you
[Db]Every day until my days are [Ab]through
You made [Eb]me believe
In [Db]tra[Ab]gedy
