OK – so the other version is wrong in places and incomplete, so I’ve sorted it out and
the rest of the song off. Please give this some stars! =)
Mayday Parade - Miserable at Best (chords)


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]
D
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/A#             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/A#   		Bm	      A
Her to second-guess but I guess)
 	G              D
That I can live without you but
 G              A            D
(Without I'll be miserable at best)

 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/A#        	    Bm
I just haven't found it yet
      A
And I need it so...


[Chorus]
D
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

D G A F#m Bm Bm A 
x2 (2nd time with ah dah dahs)

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...

That I can live without you but

(Without I'll be miserable)
G              D
That I can live without you but
	G              A            D
(Oh without I'll be miserable at best)


* A/A# - this chord is basically an A major chord (which you are already playing 
before hand) but sliding the A note up to A# (1 fret on a guitar - or up to the next black note 
a piano) so you are playing the three notes of the triad of A# C# E
