Between a Laugh and a Tear  John Mellencamp

My first tab -- I'm fairly new to this -- but it's a good jump-off point. Not too
with how long the C is held before moving to Cadd9, but play around and find what you like.
[G]When paradise is no [C]longer fit for you to live in
[Cadd9]And your adolescent dreams are gone
[G]Through the days you feel a[C] little used up
[Cadd9]And you donâ??t know where your energyâ??s gone wrong
[G]Itâ??s just your soul feelinâ?[C]? a little downhearted
[Cadd9]Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
[G]You count your friends all on[C] one finger
[Cadd9]I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live
Chorus:
[G]Between a laugh and a[D] tear
[C]Smile in the mirror as you walk by
[G]Between a laugh and a[D] tear
[C]And thatâ??s as good as it can get for us
And there ainâ??t no reason to stop [G]tryinâ??[D] [C]
[G]When this cardboard town can [C]no longer amuse you
[Cadd9]You see through everything and nothinâ?? seems worthwhile
[G]And hypocrite used to be such a [C]big word to you
[Cadd9]And it donâ??t seem to mean anything to you now
[G]Just try to live each and [C]every precious moment
[Cadd9]Donâ??t be discouraged by the future forget the past
[G]Thatâ??s old advice bu[C]t itâ??ll be good to you
[Cadd9]I know thereâ??s a balance see it when I swing past
Chorus (x2):
[G]Between a laugh and a[D] tear
[C]Smile in the mirror as you walk by
[G]Between a laugh and a[D] tear
[C]And thatâ??s as good as it can get for us
And there ainâ??t no reason to stop [G]tryinâ??[D] [C]
[G]Between a laugh and a[D] tear
[C]Smile in the mirror as you walk by
[G]Between a laugh and a[D] tear
[C]And thatâ??s as good as it can get for us
And there ainâ??t no reason to stop [G]tryinâ??[D] [C]
[G]When paradise can [C]no longer amuse [Cadd9]you.....
