Mess

[Intro]
| G - - - | - - - D/F# |

[Verse 1]
G
 If I could give
This all back
I would be home
       D/F#
In the morning
Em
  I'd wake up
In a cold sweat
Take a flight
Back to the city
      D/F#
I was born in
G
 And I would
Wipe myself clean
Of what I knew
        D/F#
Was unimportant
Em
  I'd want
Typical things
I'd try to fit
Back into all
       D/F#
My old clothing

[Pre-Chorus]
C
 And I would prove
Myself wrong
     Em
That all along,
The problem
Was me
D
 With all my
Bitterness gone
Happy, I'd be

[Chorus]
G
 I'll move back
Home forever,
I'll feed the dogs
And I'll put all
C
 My pieces
Back together
Where they
Belong,
And I'll say
Em            D
  "I'm a mess,
I'm a mess,
   G
Oh God,
      C
I'm a mess"
    G
And I'll take
Eightynine
To Boston,
See my love
And I'll help her
C
 Set up her
New apartment
And we'll get drunk,
And she'll say
Em                   D
"Shit, you're a mess,
You're a mess,
     G
Good God,
         C
You're a mess
   Em              D
Oh,  you're a mess,
You're a mess,
     G
Good God"

[Verse 2]
G
 So I paid off
My debts,
But I found
          D/F#
The world boring
Em
  So I called
My old friends,
But they only
Ever ask me
    D/F#
How tour is
G
 And there's
Still weight
On my back,
I just try to
  D/F#
Ignore it
Em
  I guess the stage
Was my mask
I forgot the way
I looked before
  D/F#
I wore it

[Pre-Chorus]
C
 And I would prove
Myself wrong
     Em
That all along,
The problem
Was me
D
 With all my
Bitterness gone
Happy, I'd be

[Chorus]
G
 I'll move back
Home forever,
I'll feed the dogs
And I'll put all
C
 My pieces
Back together
Where they
Belong,
And I'll say
Em            D
  "I'm a mess,
I'm a mess,
   G
Oh God,
      C
I'm a mess"
    G
And I'll take
Eightynine
To Boston,
See my love
And I'll help her
C
 Set up her
New apartment
And we'll get drunk,
And she'll say
Em                   D
"Shit, you're a mess,
You're a mess,
     G
Good God,
         C
You're a mess
   Em              D
Oh,  you're a mess,
You're a mess,

[Bridge]
       C
That's not what
I had hoped
Now I find comfort
In the cold

[Chorus]
G
 I'll move back
Home forever,
I'll feed the dogs
And I'll put all
C
 My pieces
Back together
Where they
Belong,
And I'll say
Em            D
  "I'm a mess,
I'm a mess,
   G
Oh God,
      C
I'm a mess"
    G
And I'll take
Eightynine
To Boston,
See my love
And I'll help her
C
 Set up her
New apartment
And we'll get drunk,
And she'll say
Em                   D
"Shit, you're a mess,
You're a mess,
     G
Good God,
         C
You're a mess
   Em              D
Oh,  you're a mess,
You're a mess,
     G
Good God"
