[F#m]
[D#]
[F#m]
What did you [F#] have to go?
[A] Why did you have to be you?
[D#] And do the things you always [F#m] do?
Each time it hurts [A] inside, the things you say, the games you [D#] play, makes me feel like
[D] my heart [A] has [G#] died.
[F#m] Just like my world fell in around me, the tears found me [D#] abandoned, and [B] they drowned [D] me.
[A] [D]
Life is often a
[D#] rollercoaster ride, you slide, [A] you hit the bottom hard, [G#] you have to [E] run away [F#m] and hide.
[A]
[D] But you gotta get up, shake [D#] yourself down, start your life again, and [E] see the funny side.
So here's a little song [F] to help the pain [C#] along.
Come on, sing [F#m] now.
Tragedy, take a look and see, [A] I'm laughing in the face of adversity, [B] and [D#] life needs a [B] singer's song.
[D] I need a little hug to [A] get along.
Oh [F#m] yeah, tragedy, take a look and be [A] a survivor in the face of adversity, [B] and life [D#] [B] needs a singer's song.
[D] I need a little [F#m] hug to make me strong.
Oh yeah, make me strong.
Oh yeah.
[D#]
[D] [A]
[F#m] I tasted love, love comes [A] and goes.
I cried the tears, the tears [D#] have flowed.
I felt the world [B] had dragged [D] me down, not [A] a single friend [F#m] around.
I needed time, I needed help, I [A] had to find strength [D#] myself.
[D] [A]
[D] Sometimes I walked the path [D#] of regret.
The sun came out [A] shining, but [E] I still [F#m] got wet.
I
[D] could have had a drink or [D#] two, a pill could numb the blues, [E] but I hung on for the right
time to [F] see the funny side.
And now I sing.
[F#m] Tragedy, take a look and see, [A] I'm laughing in the face of adversity, [D#] and life needs a singer's song.
[D] I need a little hug to [E] get along.
[F#m] Oh yeah, tragedy, take a look and be [A] a survivor in the face of adversity, [D#] and life needs a singer's song.
[D] I need a little hug [A] to make me strong.
[F#m] Oh yeah, come on and make me strong.
[B] Oh yeah, come [C#m] on and make me strong.
[D#] Oh yeah.
[D] [F#m]
Tragedy, take a look at me, take a look and see, a [D] survivor in the face [A] [F#] of adversity.
[F#m]
Tragedy.
