🎶 Mess

capo 3
===

Verse 1
If I could [Db]give this all back
I would be home in the [Cb]morning [D#]
I'd wake up in a cold sweat [D#]
Take a flight back to the city I was [Cb]born in [Db]
[Db]And I would wipe myself clean
Of what I knew was [Cb]unimportant [D#]

I'd want typical things
I'd try to fit back into all my old [Cb]clothing

Pre-Chorus
[A#]And I would prove myself wrong
That [D#]all along, the problem was me [Cb]
[Cb]With all my bitterness gone

Happy, I'd be

Chorus
[Db]I'll move back home forever

I'll feed the dogs and I'll put all
[A#]My pieces back together where they belong
And I'll say, [D#]"I'm a mess, [Cb]I'm a mess
Oh [Db]God, I'm a mess" [A#]
And [Db]I'll take 89 to Boston

See my love and I'll help her
[A#]Set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk and she'll say
[D#]"Shit, you're a mess, [Cb]you're a mess
Good [Db]God, you're a mess [A#]
[D#]Oh, you're a mess, [Cb]you're a mess
Good [Db]God"

Verse 2
[Db]So I paid off my debts but I found the world [Cb]boring [D#]
So I called my old friends
but they only ever ask me how [Cb]tour is [Db]
And there's still weight on my
back, I just [A#]try to [Cb]ignore it [D#]

I guess the stage was my mask
I forgot the way I looked before I [Cb]wore it

Pre-Chorus
[A#]And I would prove myself wrong
That [D#]all along, the problem was me [Cb]
[Cb]With all my bitterness gone

Happy, I'll be

Chorus
[Db]I'll move back home forever

I'll feed the dogs and I'll put all
[A#]My pieces back together where they belong
And I'll say, [D#]"I'm a mess, [Cb]I'm a mess
Oh [Db]god, I'm a mess" [A#]
And [Db]I'll take 89 to Boston

See my love and I'll help her
[A#]Set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk and she'll say
[D#]"Shit, you're a mess, [Cb]you're a mess
Good [Db]God, you're a mess [A#]
[D#]Oh, you're a mess, [Cb]you're a mess"

Bridge
That's [A#]not what I had hoped

Now I find comfort in the cold

Chorus
[Db]I'll move back home forever
I'll feed the dogs and I'll put all
[A#]My pieces back together where they belong
And I'll say, [D#]"I'm a mess, [Cb]I'm a mess
Oh [Db]God, I'm a mess" [A#]
And [Db]I'll take 89 to Boston

See my love and I'll help her
[A#]Set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk and she'll say
[D#]"Shit, you're a mess, [Cb]you're a mess
Good [Db]God, you're a mess [A#]
[D#]Oh, you're a mess, [Cb]you're a mess
Good [Db]God"⠀
