Tuning: Standard with a CAPO on 1st fret

NOTE: In the BRIDGE, there is one chord that I don't know the name. I wrote
it as "E?".  The way to play this is 021200. This is right, I've seen him
use this live. Great song, enjoy! All chords relative to capo.

I'm miserable without you 

so much so I have too

I'm better off without you

You're always in a bad mood

Dark clouds over sunshine

Rain out all the good times

stay out of my life in California

Your blue eyes and the sunshine

Red wine under moonlight

Sculpture of an angel

Cute like a cartoon batting her lashes

Push me off the bed while you sleep

Or squeeze me til I can't breathe
    C5
All elbows and knees

I got bruises from your bad dreams

I can't make you happy
