BAND: Mayday Parade
Song: Miserable At Best
TUNING: FULL STEP DOWN- DGCFAD

None of the other tabs sound right for this song or "perfect" for that matter, so me and
brother decided to give it a shot. It is originally played on piano and im sure there
other ways to play it but im almost positive this is 100% correct. If not its really 
really close. Awesome song and enjoy =)

CHORDS USED
E: 022100 or 779900 or 079900 B: x24400 or 224400
C#m: x46600 or 446600          A: x02200 or 577600

-VERSE 1-
E
Katie, don't cry, I know
       B           C#m
You're trying your hardest
                B
And the hardest part is letting
E
Go of the nights we shared
 B       C#m                       B
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
            A         B             C#m            B
But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright
            A           B             C#m               B
And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but I want it so

-PRE-CHORUS-
E
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
B                    C#m
(I know he's there and)
                             B
You're probably hanging out and making eyes

(while across the room, he stares)
A                              B
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
    C#m            A                    B
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

-CHORUS-
              A                 B          C#m
Because these words were never easier for me to say
  B              A
Or her to second guess
    B
But I guess
     E            C#m(446600)
That I can live without you but
   A                B
Without you I'll be miserable at best

-VERSE 2-
E
You're all that I hoped I'd find
                C#m
In every single way
                       B
And everything I could give

Is everything you couldn't take
E                          B                            C#m
Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
                        B
And the hardest part of living

Is just taking breaths to stay
A                           B
Because I know I'm good for something
       C#m               A
I just haven't found it yet
         B
But I need it

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL
E A B C#m A B

-BRIDGE-

E      A        B       C#m   A      B
Ladada ladadada ladada laahahaooh ohoohh
E                         A            B
And this will be the first time in a week
                 C#m
That I'll talk to you
             A
And I can't speak
                                               B
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep

Cuz I dream of his lips on your cheek
E                                 A
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
     B                       C#m
But we both know that I'm not that strong
    A                            B
And I miss the lips that made me fly

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS

-FINAL CHORUS- (Changes Slightly)

              A                 B          C#m
Because these words were never easier for me to say
   B             A
Or her to second guess
    B
But I guess
     E            C#m(446600)
That I can live without you but
    A                 B
Without you I'll be miserable
    E             C#m (446600)
And I can live without you
        A                 B
But without you I'll be miserable
    E             C#m (446600)
And I can live without you but
       A                  B           E
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best

For anyone who wants to know an easy way to tune your guitar a FULL STEP DOWN just throw a CAPO on the SECOND FRET and tune to standard. This is a sweet tab and sounds much better a full step down then with standard chords.

I think it's better to play the A as (002220) instead of (002200). Try it out. I think it's better.
