Dm   Cadd9    Bb           F
I'll fake it through the day
          BbM7                     Gm
With some help from Johnny Walker Red
          F      Am   Cadd9      Bb
Send the poison rain down the drain
   F                         A7
To put bad thoughts in my head
 
 
Dm       Cadd9    Bb      F
Your two tickets torn in half
       BbM7              Gm
And a lot of nothing to do
       F    Am  Bb   F     G
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
          Bb      F
Like you say you do?
 
 
Ab           Cm
A man in the park
         F           DbM7
Read the lines in my hand
            Ab
Told me I'm strong
             Cadd9
Hardly ever wrong I said man you mean
 
 
Dm      Cadd9      Bb      F
You had plans for both of us
       BbM7                   Gm
That involved a trip out of town
     F          Am        Cadd9 Bb
To a place I've seen in a magazine
     F               A7
That you left lying around
 
 
Dm      Cadd9    Bb
I don't have you with me
F     BbM7            Gm
But I keep a good attitude
       F    Am  Bb   F     G
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
          Bb      F
Like you say you do?
 
 
D                          Bb
I know you'd rather see me gone
         F          G          Bb
Than to see me the way that I am
                Cadd9    C#dim
But I am in the life anyway
 
 
Dm   Cadd9     Bb    F
Next door the TV's flashing
BbM7                Gm
Blue frames on the wall
        F  Am    Cadd9       Bb
It's a comedy of errors, you see
     F               A7
It's about taking a fall
 
 
Dm   Cadd9  Bb    F   BbM7
To vanish into oblivion
            Gm
Is easy to do
      F      Am         Bb
And I try to be but you know me
F      G             Bb      F    C
I come back when you want me to
       F    Am  Bb   F     G
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
          Bb      F
Like you say you do?
