Mess Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]If I could give this all back
I would be home in the [D]morning
[Em]I’d wake up in a cold sweat
Take a flight back to the city I was [D]born in
[G]And I would wipe myself clean
Of what I knew was unim[D]portant
[Em]I'd want typical things
I'd try to fit back into all my old [D]clothing

[Pre-chorus 1]
[C]And I would prove myself wrong
That [Em]all along, the problem was me
[D]With all my bitterness gone

[Chorus 1]
Happy, I'd be
[G]I'll move back home forever
I'll feed the dogs
And I'll put [C]all my pieces back together
Where they belong, and I'll say
[Em]"I'm a mess,[D] I'm a mess,
oh [G]God, I'm a [C]mess"
And [G]I'll take 89 to Boston
See my love
And I'll help [C]her set up her new apartment
And we'll get drunk and she'll say
[Em]"Shit, you're a [D]mess, you're a mess,
good [G]God, you're a [C]mess"
[Em]"Oh, you're a [D]mess, you're a mess,
good [G]God"

[Verse 2]
[G]So I paid off my debts
but I found the world [D]boring
[Em]So I called my old friends
but they only ever ask me how [D]tour is
[G]And there's still weight on my back,
I just try to ig[D]nore it
[Em]I guess the stage was my mask
I forgot the way I looked before I [D]wore it

[Pre-chorus 2]
[C]And I would prove myself wrong
That [Em]all along, the problem was me
[D]With all my bitterness gone

[Chorus 2]
Happy, I'd be
[G]I'll move back home forever
I'll feed the dogs
And I'll put [C]all my pieces back together
Where they belong, and I'll say
[Em]"I'm a mess,[D] I'm a mess,
oh [G]God, I'm a [C]mess"
And [G]I'll take 89 to Boston
See my love
And I'll help [C]her set up her new apartment
And we'll get drunk and she'll say
[Em]"Shit, you're a [D]mess, you're a mess,
good [G]God, you're a [C]mess"
[Em]"Oh, you're a [D]mess, you're a mess"

[Bridge 1]
That's [C]not what I had hoped

[Chorus 3]
Now I find comfort in the cold
[G]I'll move back home forever
I'll feed the dogs
And I'll put [C]all my pieces back together
Where they belong, and I'll say
[Em]"I'm a mess,[D] I'm a mess,
oh [G]God, I'm a [C]mess"
And [G]I'll take 89 to Boston
See my love
And I'll help [C]her set up her new apartment
And we'll get drunk and she'll say
[Em]"Shit, you're a [D]mess, you're a mess,
good [G]God, you're a [C]mess"
[Em]"Oh, you're a [D]mess, you're a mess,
good [G]God"
