Intro: Em D G Em C x3 

C                                          Em D G Em 
Your heart's as heavy as the stones you throw 
C                                          Em D G Em 
Can't see the flowers for the weeds you grow 
C                                          Em D G Em 
You blow your bubbles just to watch 'em burst 
C                                
For you it's always bad to worse 


    G                           Em 
And you... can't win unless you lose 
                C   Em  D   G Em  C 
You try to tell me you want happiness 
     Em  D    G Em  C 
But you ain't happy unless 
       Em    
You're miserable 

Em D G Em 

C                                     Em D G Em 
Your neighbor's dirty laundry's cleaner 
C                                       Em D G Em 
And the wolf at your door's always meaner 
C                                       Em D G Em 
The sky's still grey when the sun's around 
C 
But you can't set sail if your anchor's down 


    G                           Em 
And you... can't win unless you lose 
                C   Em  D   G Em  C 
You try to tell me you want happiness 
     Em  D    G Em  C 
But you ain't happy unless 
       Em    
You're miserable 
D 
I'm miserable 

C 
Can't liven up for the both of us 
Em 
We have enough for the whole of us 
Am 
If misery loves company 
C                                 Em D G Em C 
Then I can't keep you company no more 

Em D G Em C

G  C

    G                           Em 
And you... can't win unless you lose 
                C   Em  D   G Em  C 
You try to tell me you want happiness 
     Em  D    G Em  C 
But you ain't happy unless 
       Em    
You're miserable
