Standard (EADGBE)

Well I got empty bottles and legal papers wrinkled up all over the floor

My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't have a song in it anymore

Well I can write another love song, yeah, but first you got to find someone to love

I could write another fight song, yeah, but there's got to be something to be proud of and they say

Chorus 1

[G/f#]

Misery love's company, but it damn sure ain't lookin' for me

 I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart tonight

Going out walkin' on Avenue B and I ain't comin' back until dawn

And find some stranger in a Greenich bar to shower my affection upon

Well maybe she'll stay 'til one fateful day when we realize we've got nothin' left

And maybe I'll find she's messed up my mind and I can get back to doing what I do best and they say

Chorus 1

Solo

Bridge

Well all these A&R guys keep knockin' on my door

I guess the last batch wasn't good enough cause they keep on wanting more and more and they say

Chorus 2

[G/f#]

Write what you know and it just goes to show, you gotta write your own destiny

 I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart tonight, they say

[G/f#]

Misery love's company, but it damn sure ain't lookin' for me

 I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart tonight
