[Verse 1]

Am
Pretty, but he don't tell you about it.
F
Winter scarves and skirts of velvet.
C                                  G
We still drink just like we did in school.


[Verse 2]

Am
I passed your old house down by the cemetery.
F
Club nights and university.
C                                      G
When your friends sing 'Born To Run' baby, resist 'cause we were 'Born To Drift'.


[Chorus]

C                                        F
If you could see the wreck I am these days,
                                 Am
You'd have new reasons to stay away.
                                  F
Just hold my hand for a little while.
       G
Misery never goes out of style.


[Verse 3]

Am
I see you sometimes in dreams I have,
F
In your bra in the room you used to rent.
C                                       G
Do you ever wish you could wake someone else?


[Verse 4]

Am
So I wrote down a list of coroners,
F
Their names, their office phone numbers.
C                              G
To pronounce dead the thing we had.
G
In tombs, ex-boyfriends bedrooms.


[Chorus] x2

C                                        F
If you could see the wreck I am these days,
                                 Am
You'd have new reasons to stay away.
                                  F
Just hold my hand for a little while.
       G
Misery never goes out of style.


[Bridge]

         Dm           Am
I'm your chipped nail paint.
        C              G
I'm the fabric of your coat.
        Dm    Am
You are all I fear.
        C       Em    G
You are words I never wrote.
         Dm           Am
I'm your chipped nail paint.
        C              G
I'm the fabric of your coat.
        Dm  Em Am
You are all I fear.
        C       Em    G
You are words I never wrote.
                  C
You are years ago.


[Chorus]

C                                        F
If you could see the wreck I am these days,
                                 Am
You'd have new reasons to stay away.
                               F
Just hold my hand for a little while.
       G                       C
Misery never goes out of style.
C                                     F
If you could see the wreck I am these days,
                                 Am
You'd have new reasons to stay away.
                               F
Just hold my hand for a little while.
       G                        C
Misery never goes out of style.
