 Bm A I'm never waking up again so I'll never have to find out what you did G Each day it's harder to pretend F#m That your eyes aren't lying as much as your mouth did Bm I'd grab your head by your hair and I'd hack it off A And put it on display at the front of the yard G On a stick that's decorated with F#m a little pink bow and a sign that says "Her friends and family should have taught her more Bm about love." Em G A# A D Dear Tragedy, Bm I never had anybody E A But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed Bm With a breath taker, A A smile faker D A These years alone have eaten me alive Recounting pages in a book That I'd torn out ashamed that one day you'd look Afraid that once you did you'd really know how it felt To be a sucker on a string that you dragged round wherever you'd go I'm running around, around and it hurts Tempted to tape up the pages I'd ripped And although I recognize that we're attached at the lips That you're the one in charge and that the captain's gotta sink with the ship Chorus: I never had anybody But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed With a breath-taker, a smile-faker These years alone have eaten me alive Dear Tragedy, I never had anybody But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed With a breath-taker, a smile-faker Years alone have eaten me alive Breath-taker, smile-faker How could I have let you in my life? You're a breath-taker, a smile-faker These years alone have eaten me alive I never had anybody But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed With a breath-taker, a smile-faker (Dear Tragedy, Dear Tragedy) These years alone have eaten me alive (You'll pay for what you did to me You'll pay for you what did to me) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  Bm  D  E  Em  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
