Here's "Anywhere...." - let me know of any corrections, as I won't swear its
100% correct (words or music).

Capo at the second fret - when I write a G, it is really an A

*Third and fourth verse, same as first two*


Here comes Mr. Misery
Lookin for a place for his mouth to shoot saying
You look cute in your birthday suit
You tore him out and screwed him up
like a bent page in a naughty picture book

The day ended as it began
except he was sicker and older than
The man he was this morning and
The world has wiped its mouth since then
or maybe it was yawning

Chorus again
