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)
