Verse 1:
   G+G           A minorAm
The original mixed-up kid, sleeps with the ladies all night
D MajorD              G+G
Home in the morning light to nothin'
    G+G          A minorAm
Climbs in to an empty bed, pillows around his head

Hide the tears he sheds for no one

And Byron said happiness is born a twin
  C majorC          D MajorD        G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
In those who share, for they will always win
  C majorC           D MajorD
But what about the man who tries so hard
    G+G    D/F#D/F#    E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
But his heart is locked within

Verse 2:
   G+G                A minorAm
The original mixed-up kid, must have been at the end of the line
     D MajorD               G+G
When they gave out the forms to sign for someone

Bridge:
    C majorC         D MajorD           G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
And he can't make up his mind where he wants to go
       C majorC          D MajorD            G+G  D/F#D/F# E minorEm
Ain't there a heaven ain't there a hell well he just don't know
     C majorC       D MajorD
For in a crowded street he can see the sleet
     G+G     D/F#D/F#     E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD
When the other men just see the snow

Verse 3:
   G+G          A minorAm
The original mixed-up kid be on your conscience bound
    D MajorD             G+G
For you turned him upside down for nothin'
