G                                         Em
Well I got empty bottles and legal papers wrinkled up 
all over the floor 
 Cadd9                                           D
My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't have a song in it anymore 
 G                                             Em
Well I can write another love song, yeah, but first 
you got to find someone to love 
 Cadd9                                            D
I could write another fight song, yeah, but there's 
got to be something to be proud of and they say 
  
Chorus 1: 
 Cadd9         D               G         G/F#            Em 
Misery love's company, but it damn sure ain't lookin' for me 
      Cadd9         D                          Cadd9    D   
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart
    G 
tonight 
 
Going out walkin' on Avenue В 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: 
 Am                           Em
Well all these A&R guys keep knockin' on my door 
 Am                                       
I guess the last batch wasn't good enough 
            D       D/C     D/B      D/A
cause they keep on wanting more and more and they say 
 
Chorus 2: 
 Cadd9                      D                
Write what you know and it just goes to show,
            G          G/F#     Em 
you gotta write your own destiny 
      Cadd9         D                      
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone 
    Cadd9    D       G 
to break my heart tonight, they say 
 Cadd9         D               G         G/F#              Em 
Misery love's company, but it damn sure ain't lookin' for me 
      Cadd9         D                      
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone 
    Cadd9    D       G
to break my heart tonight
