[Intro]
 
Am C F Am C F
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am
Pretty, but he don't tell you about it.
F
Winter scarves and skirts of velvet.
C                                  G
We still drink just like we did in school.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
I passed your old house down by the cemetery.
F
Club nights and university.
C                                      G
When your friends sing 'Born To Run' baby resist, 'cause we were 'Born To Drift'.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                                        F
If you could see the wreck I am these days, 
                                 Am
You'd have new reasons to stay away.
 
Just hold my hand for a little while.
F      G
Misery never goes out of style.
 
 
[Re-Intro]
 
Am C F Am C F
 
 
[Verse 3]

I see you sometimes in dreams I have, 
F
In your bra in the room you used to rent.
C                                       G
Do you ever wish you could wake someone else?
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Am
So I wrote down a list of coroners, 
F
Their names, their office phone numbers.
C                              G
To pronounce dead the thing we had.
G
In tombs, ex-boyfriends bedrooms.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                                        F
If you could see the wreck I am these days,

Just hold my hand for a little while.

Misery never goes out of style.

You'd have new reasons to stay away.
 
Just hold my hand for a little while.
F      G
Misery never goes out of style.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
         Em           Am
I'm your chipped nail paint.

I'm the fabric of your coat.
        Em  E Am
You are all I fear. 
        C       Em    G
You are words I never wrote.
         Em           Am
I'm your chipped nail paint. 
        C              G
I'm the fabric of your coat.
        Em    Am
You are all I fear. 
        C       Em    G
You are words I never wrote.
                  C
You are years ago.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                                        F
If you could see the wreck I am these days,

You'd have new reasons to stay away.
 
Just hold my hand for a little while.

I think the bridge is simply Dm - Am - C - G. E and Em don't sound right.

Do you know how to play the intro as heard in the song??

if you’re playing this song transposed at +2, ( not capo 2) the bridge should be Em, Bm, D, A :)
