Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) intro: Bb A Verse 1: Bb If I could give this all back F I would be home in the morning Gm I'd wake up in a cold sweat F Take a flight back to the city I was born in Bm And I would wipe myself clean A Of what I knew was unimportant Gm I'd want typical things I'd try to fit back into all my old clothing
Pre-Chorus: Eb And I would prove myself wrong Gm That all along, the problem was me F With all my bitterness gone Happy, I'd be Chorus: Bb I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs Eb And I'll put all my pieces back together Where they belong, and I'll say Gm F Bb Eb "I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess" Bb And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love Eb And I'll help her set up her new apartment And we'll get drunk, and she'll say Gm F Bb Eb "Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess Gm F Bb Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God"
Verse 2: Bb So I paid off my debts, but I found the world boring Gm Dm So I called my old friends, but they only ever ask me how tour is Bb And there's still weight on my back, I just try to ignore it Gm I guess the stage was my mask I forgot the way I looked before I wore it Pre-Chorus: Em And I would prove myself wrong Gm That all along, the problem was me F Eb With all my bitterness gone F Happy, I'll be Chorus: Bb I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs Eb And I'll put all my pieces back together Where they belong, and I'll say Gm F Bb Eb "I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess" Bb And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love Eb And I'll help her set up her new apartment And we'll get drunk, and she'll say Gm F Bb Eb "Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess Gm F Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess" Bridge: Eb That's not what I had hoped Now I find comfort in the cold Chorus: Bb I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs Eb And I'll put all my pieces back together Where they belong, and I'll say Gm F Bb Eb "I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess" Bb And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love Eb And I'll help her set up her new apartment And we'll get drunk, and she'll say Gm F Bb Eb "Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess Gm F Bb Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God"
