Tom: F
Dm C Bb F
I'll fake it through the day
Gm7(9)/F Gm
With some help from johnny walker red
F Am C Bb
Send the poison rain down the drain
F A7
To put bad thoughts in my head
Dm C Bb F
Two tickets torn in half
Gm7(9)/F Gm
And a lot of nothing to do
F Am Bb F G
Do you miss me, miss misery
Bb F
Like you say you do?
G# Cm
A man in the park
F C#7M
Read the lines in my hand
G#
Told me I'm strong
C
Hardly ever wrong I said man you mean
Dm C Bb F
You had plans for both of us
Gm7(9)/F Gm
That involved a trip out of town
F Am C Bb
To a place I've seen in a magazine
F A7
That you left lying around
Dm C Bb F
I don't have you with me but
Gm7(9)/F Gm
I keep a good attitude
F Am Bb F G
Do you miss me, miss misery
Bb F
Like you say you do?
D Bb
I know you'd rather see me gone
F G7 Bb
Than to see me the way that I am
C
C#º
But I am in the life anyway
Dm C Bb F
Next door the tv's flashing
Gm7(9)/F Gm
Blue frames on the wall
F Am C Bb
It's a comedy of errors, you see
F A7
It's about taking a fall
Dm C Bb F Gm7(9)/F
To vanish into oblivion
Gm
Is easy to do
F Am/E Bb/D
And I try to be but you know me
F/C G7/B Bb F C/G
I come back when you want me to
F Am Bb F G7
Do you miss me miss misery
Bb F
Like you say you do?
