Mayday Parade - Miserable at Best (chords)



OK – so the other version is wrong in places and incomplete, so I’ve sorted it out and
the rest of the song off. Please give this some stars! =)
Mayday Parade - Miserable at Best (chords)


						            
Katie don't cry I know you're trying your hardest
			                 
And the hardest part is letting go

Of the nights we shared
                                 
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
                     
but compared to your eyes
                       
nothing shines quite as bright
                         
And when we looked to the sky
                  
It’s not mine but I want it. So...

[Chorus]

Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there and)
                              
You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)
                             
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
 */             		  
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes
                                       
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or /   			      
Her to second-guess but I guess)
 	              
That I can live without you but
                           
(Without I'll be miserable at best)

 
You’re all that I hoped I'd find
			 
In every single way
                       
And everything I would give
                          
Is everything you couldn't take
                        
Cause nothing feels like home
                        
You’re a thousand miles away
                        
And the hardest part of living
                          
Is just taking breaths to stay
                         
Cause I know I'm good for something
	  /        	    
I just haven't found it yet
      
And I need it so...


[Chorus]

Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there and)
                              
You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)
                             
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
 /              		     
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes
                                       
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or /   			      
Her to second-guess but I guess)
 	              
That I can live without you but
                           
(Without I'll be miserable at best)


       
x2 (2nd time with ah dah dahs)

				 			  
And this will be the first time in a week
			   		    
That I'll talk to you and I can't speak
							   
It’s been 3 whole days since I've had sleep
						    
Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek
						    
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
       				 
But we both know that I'm not that strong

    						    
And 		I miss the lips that made me fly so...


[Chorus]

Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there and)
                              
You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)
                             
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
 /              		     
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes
                                       
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or /   			      
Her to second-guess but I guess)
 	              
That I can live without you but
               
(Without I'll be miserable)
              
That I can live without you but
              
(Without I'll be miserable)
              
That I can live without you but
	                          
(Oh without I'll be miserable at best)


* / - this chord is basically an A major chord (which you are already playing 
before hand) but sliding the A note up to A# (1 fret on a guitar - or up to the next black note 
a piano) so you are playing the three notes of the triad of
