Mayday Parade - Miserable at Best (chords) Tabbed By Ben UPDATE: I've made the chords line up a bit better with the words - and added an Em in place of a G in the "I could live without you" bit, (but both sound fine to be honest) and a chord chart. Also as a few people have asked about strumming / picking patterns, I have uploaded a video of my playing this: Chords used: D : xx0232 A : x02220 Bm : x24432 A#dim : x1232x D5 : xx0235 [Verse]
D                             A           Bm
Katie don't cry I know you're trying your hardest

                A               D
And the hardest part is letting go  Of the nights we shared

 A       Bm                        A
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting

       G             A
but compared to your eyes

        Bm              D
nothing shines quite as bright

            G             A
And when we looked to the sky

         Bm          D
It's not mine but I want it.    So...
[Chorus]
D5
  Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

   A
(I know he's there and)

Bm                                A
  You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(While across the room he stares)
G                              A
 I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

    A#dim          Bm             A
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes

               G                D G D      A
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or

A#dim          Bm        A
Her to second-guess but I guess)

    Em              D
That I can live without you but

 G               A            D
(Without I'll be miserable at best)
[Verse]
D
  You're all that I hoped I'd find

                Bm
In every single way

                       A
And everything I would give

                          D
Is everything you couldn't take

                          A
Cause nothing feels like home

                        Bm
You're a thousand miles away

                         A
And the hardest part of living

                          G
Is just taking breaths to stay

                          A
Cause I know I'm good for something

       A#dim             Bm
I just haven't found it yet

      A
And I need it,    so...
[Chorus]
D5
  Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

   A
(I know he's there and)

Bm                                A
  You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(While across the room he stares)
G                              A
 I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

    A#dim          Bm             A
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes

               G                D G D      A
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or

A#dim          Bm        A
Her to second-guess but I guess)

    Em              D
That I can live without you but

 G               A            D
(Without I'll be miserable at best)

x2 (2nd time with ah dah dahs)
[Verse]
D                     G               A
 And this will be the first time in a week

                 F#m              Bm
That I'll talk to you and I can't speak

                                      A
It's been 3 whole days since I've had sleep

                                  D
Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek

                                  G
And I got the point that I should leave you alone

    A                     F#m
But we both know that I'm not that strong

    Bm                              A
And    I miss the lips that made me fly.     so...
[Chorus]
D5

G                              A

    A#dim          Bm             A
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes

               G                D G D      A
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or

Her to second-guess but I guess)

     Em             D

     G           A
(Without I'll be miserable)

     Em             D
That I can live without you but

     G           A
(Without I'll be miserable)

     Em             D
That I can live without you but

        G           A            D
(Oh without I'll be miserable at best)
