John Mellencamp - Between a laugh and a tear

^FWhen paradise is no longer f^Cit for you to live in ^AmAnd your adolescent dreams are g^Gone ^FThrough the days you fe^Cel a little used up ^AmAnd you don't know where y^Gour energy's gone wrong ^FIt's just your soul feeli^Cn' a little downhearted ^AmSometimes life is too ^Gridiculous to live ^FYou count your friends^G all on one finger ^AmI know it sounds crazy^G just the way that we live

^FBetween a laugh and a t^Cear ^AmSmile in the mirror as you walk ^Gby ^FBetween a laugh and a t^Cear ^AmAnd that's as good as it can get for us And there ai^Gn't no reason to stop^F tryin'

^FWhen this cardboard town can no lon^Cger amuse you ^AmYou see through everything and nothin' see^Gms worthwhile ^FAnd hypocrite used to be suc^Ch a big word to you ^AmAnd it don't seem to mean anything^G to you now ^FJust try to live each and e^Cvery precious moment ^AmDon't be discouraged by the future ^Gforget the past ^FThat's old advise but it'll^C be good to you ^AmI know there's a balance s^Gee it when I swing past

^FBetween a laugh and a t^Cear ^AmSmile in the mirror as y^Gou walk by ^FBetween a laugh and a te^Car ^AmAnd that's as good as it can get for us And there ain'^Gt no reason to stop tr^Fyin' Between a laugh and a t^Cear ^AmSmile in the mirror as yo^Gu walk by ^FBetween a laugh and a t^Cear ^AmAnd that's as good as it can get for ^Gus And there ain't no reason to stop ^Ftryin'

^FWhen paradise can no longer am^Cuse you
