hold ing you,

(Ab)lov ing you,

lov ing you.

(Cm)Trag e dy,

when the (Gm)feel ing’s gone and you can’t go on, it’s (Cm)trag e dy;

when the (Gm)morn ing cries and you don’t know why, it’s (Bb7sus)hard to bear

with no one to love you, you’re (Cm)go in’ no where.

(Cm)Trag e dy,

when you (Gm)lose con trol and you got no soul, it’s (Cm)trag e dy;

when the (Gm)morn ing cries and you don’t know why, it’s (Bb7sus)hard to bear

hold ing you,

(Ab)lov ing you,

lov ing you.
