Lyrics

(Eb)Here I lie in a lost and lone ly part of town.

Held in time in a world of tears I slow ly drown.

(F)Go in’ home I I just can’t make it (G)all a lone, I real ly should be (F)hold ing you,

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

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

(Eb)Night and day there’s a burn ing down in side of me.

Burn ing love with a yearn ing that won’t let me be.

(F)Down I go and I just can’t take it (G)all a lone, I real ly should be (F)hold ing you,

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

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

(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

(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 your heart just dies, it’s (Bb7sus)hard to bear

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

Oh.

(Cm)Trag e dy,

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