Miserable At Best
View chords used in this chart
C
Katy don't cry I know
G Am
You're trying your hardest
F
And the hardest part is letting
C
Go of the nights we shared
G Am G
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
F G Am C
But compared to your eyes nothing shines quite as bright
F G Am C
And when we look to the sky it's not mine but I want it so
[Refrão]
C
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
G Am
(I know he's there)
G
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
F
(While across the room he stares)
G
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
Am G
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
F G Am
Because these words were never easier for me to say
C F
Or her to second guess
G
But I guess
F G
That I can live without you but
F G C
Without you I'll be miserable at best
G
You're all that I hoped I'd find
Am
In every single way
G
And everything I could give
C
Is everything you couldn't take
G Am
Cause nothing feels like home you're a thousand miles away
G
And the hardest part of living
F
Is just taking breaths to stay
G
Because I know I'm good for something
Am
I just haven't found it yet
G C
But I need it, so
{Refrão}
C, G, Am, F
C G Am G C
(Ladada ladada ladada oh ohhh)
G
And this will be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you
Am
And I can't speak
G
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep
C
Because I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
G
But we both know that I'm not that strong
Am G
And I miss the lips that made me fly
C
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
G Am
(I know he's there)
G
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
F
(while across the room, he stares)
G
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
Am G
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
F G Am
Because these words were never easier for me to say
C F
Or her to second guess
G
But I guess
F G
That I can live without you but
Am G
Without you I'll be miserable
F G
And I can live without you
Am G
But without you I'll be miserable
F G
And I can live without you
Am G C
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best
