[Intro] [Verse 1] You were pouring cheap red wine On a Tuesday In July Burned the toast We laughed so hard Thought the world was ours for life Baby clothes on every chair Crayons on the bedroom floor Bills unpaid The car won’t start Still we kept on wanting more [Chorus] It’s beautiful But tragic How we rise and how we fall You hold a hand You build a home Then you learn to lose it all We dance inside a story Where the ending’s always night Nobody gets out alive Still the middle burns so bright [Break] [Verse 2] First gray hair above your ear You just shrugged and kissed my chin Doctor’s notes and quiet fears Old friends fading New meds in Garden gone to clover now Grandkids drawing on our knees Slow walks down the same old street Counting years in autumn leaves [Chorus] It’s beautiful But tragic How we rise and how we fall You hold a hand You build a home Then you learn to lose it all We dance inside a story Where the ending’s always night Nobody gets out alive Still the middle burns so bright [Bridge] One day one of us lets go Other one stays Sleeping cold side How can something hurt this much And still feel like it was right? (oh) If I had to do it twice I would choose the same hard time Every tear and every fight Just to call your heartbreak mine [Solo] [Chorus] It’s beautiful But tragic Every breath a borrowed light We hold on and we let go Like the tide that leaves the ride We dance inside a story That we’re lucky just to write Nobody gets out alive Still My God It’s all so bright
