A*                             Amaj7 
The keeper falls asleep in the hole 
A7                     D7 
I become what he won't allow 
F                              A 
Because happy never hurt me at all 
E    riff1         A6 riff2 
But, misery let me down 

A*                            Amaj7 
The man the floor above isn't home 
A7                    D7 
I go out painting the town 
F                       A 
I promise not to have a ball 
E    riff1         A   /B 
But, misery let me down 

C/G         E 
If you see, misery 
Am                             E 
Going through the things in my place 
C/G            
Won't you do me a favor and 
E 
Come invade my space 

A*                      Amaj7 
I've been pretending to care 
A7                       D7 
Crying in the tears of a clown 
F                       A 
I promise not to put on airs 
E    riff1         A6 riff2 
But, misery let me down 

A* Amaj7 A7 D7 F A E  riff1 A /B 

C/G          E 
I'm a shell, in a cell 
Am                    E 
Looking myself in the face ... (G)
