This is my attempt at the chords for miserable at best. The actual song in on piano but 
can use these chords on piano or on guitar i guess. (I figured it out on piano if that 
any difference).

It's in D major

Miserable at Best

D
Katie don't cry I know
       A           B
you're trying your hardest
                A               D
and the hardest part is letting go

of the nights we shared
A        B                          A
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
    G                 A
but compared to your eyes
         B               D
nothing shines quite as bright
            G             A
and when we looked to the sky
        B           D
it's not mine but i want it

so...

[chorus]
D
lets not pretend like you're alone tonight
A
(I know he's there and)
B                               A
you're probably hanging out and making eyes

(while across the room he stares)
G                             A
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
 ?                 B
and ask my girl to dance
       A
she'll say yes
  G                             D  G  A              
         B
(because these words were never easier for me to say or her to second guess
    A
but i guess)
 G              D
that i can live without but
 G              A            D
(without I'll be miserable at best)

 D
you're all that i hoped I'd find
 B
in every single way
                       A
and everything i would give
                          D
is everything you couldn't take
                        A
cause nothing feels like home
                        G
you're a thousand miles away
                        A
and the hardest part of living
                         B
is just taking breaths to stay
   D                      A
cause i know I'm good for something
       B                D
i just haven't found it yet
?
and i need it
?
so...


[chorus]
D
lets not pretend like you're alone tonight
A
(I know he's there and)
B                               A
you're probably hanging out and making eyes

(while across the room he stares)
G                             A
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
 ?                 B
and ask my girl to dance
       A
she'll say yes
  G                             D  G  A              
         B
(because these words were never easier for me to say or her to second guess
    A
but i guess)
 G              D
that i can live without but
 G              A            D
(without I'll be miserable at best)


[not sure about this part yet]

and this will be the first time in a week
that I'll talk to you and i can't speak
it's been 3 whole days since I've had sleep
cause i dream of his lips on your cheek
and i got the point that i should leave you alone
but we both know that I'm not that strong
and i miss the lips that made me fly
so...


So that's all i've got so far. Suggestions are very welcome. It's probably not 100% 
but i know people were looking for the chords for it so i gave it a shot.
