[Verse 1]
There's candles at each table
Smoke fills the cracks
Honey, I stopped in to drink
Tomorrow I'll be back
I'll bet she thinks the world of me
She's walking out the door

[Chorus 1]
Misery Tavern
It's the only place I know

[Verse 2]
I'll try to get along somehow
Start loving someone new
Each time I make a start
I'm right back in that room
I'll sober up long enough
To find my way back in

[Chorus 2]
Misery Tavern
It's the only place I know
Misery Tavern
Tonight I'll go down slow
Misery Tavern
It's the only place I know
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
There's candles at each table
Smoke fills the cracks
Honey, I stopped in to drink
Tomorrow I'll be back
I'll bet she thinks the world of me
She's walking out the door

[Chorus 2]
Misery Tavern
It's the only place I know
Misery Tavern
Tonight I'll go down slow
Misery Tavern
It's the only place I know
