Misery by Madness

Intro:  F (for 3 bars)   C (for 4 bars)   F (for 1 bar)

FMisery loves company
                         CThat's what the wise man said
Don't come to me for sympathy
                        FIf you can't raise your head
Stand up and see
What your life could be
                    BbIf you wore a smile instead
                           FIf you keep misery as your company
         C                FThen you might as well be dead

(n.C.)                     BbWhy don't you go suck on a silver spoon
                         FBuy a spaceship and fly over the moon
                       CSee the colours in the flowers and the tree's
                       FTake a lesson from the birds and the bee's
                          BbWhy don't you go skipping out in the park
                           FGive yourself a chance to make a new start
                      CTry and focus on your health and your heart
           FAccept the present and let go of the past

Misery loves company
That's what the wise man said
The remedy to be happy
Well it's all inside your head
Shift infinitessimally your perception and see
Your life could be better led
Don't keep misery as your company
Or you might as well be dead

Why don't you go suck on a silver spoon
Buy a spaceship and fly over the moon
See the colours in the flowers and the tree's
Take a lesson from the birds and the bee's
Why don't you go skipping out in the park
Give yourself a chance to make a new start
Try and focus on your health and your heart
Accept the present and let go of the past

Sax solo
For the dramatic part, I improvised around F and A, then C and E
Repeat song chords to fill in for remainder

Misery loves company
That's what the wise man said
Don't come to me for sympathy
If you can't raise your head
Stand up and see what your life could be
If you wore a smile instead
If you keep misery for company then you
Might as well be dead
