[Verse 1]
Em
Pretty, but he don't tell you about it.
C
Winter scarves and skirts of velvet.
G D
We still drink just like we did in school.
[Verse 2]
Em
I passed your old house down by the cemetery.
C
Club nights and university.
G D
When your friends sing 'Born To Run' baby resist, 'cause we were 'Born To Drift'.
[Chorus]
G C
If you could see the wreck I am these days,
Em
You'd have new reasons to stay away.
Just hold my hand for a little while.
C D
Misery never goes out of style.

[Verse 3]
Em
I see you sometimes in dreams I have,
C
In your bra in the room you used to rent.
G D
Do you ever wish you could wake someone else?
[Verse 4]
Em
So I wrote down a list of coroners,
C
Their names, their office phone numbers.
G D
To pronounce dead the thing we had.
D
In tombs, ex-boyfriends bedrooms.
[Chorus]
G C
If you could see the wreck I am these days,
Em
You'd have new reasons to stay away.
Just hold my hand for a little while.
C D
Misery never goes out of style.

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