verse 1 

I got some blood under my nails 
                              Em D G Cadd9 
I got some mud on my face 
   Em             D 
My voice is shot, I'm going grey 
      G           Cadd9       Em D G Cadd9 
These muscles all ache 
D                           G                  Cadd9 
  Don't cry for me, I'm the life of the party 

I'm smiling most of the time 
         D           G                Cadd9         G 
I may be gritting my teeth, can't get back where we started 
Em                          D 
  These days I'm doing just fine 

G Em Cadd9 G God bless this mess, this mess is mine Em Cadd9 G Won't pound my chest or criticize Em Cadd9 G I must confess, I've lived, I've died G Em Cadd9 G God bless this mess, this mess is mine Em Cadd9 G God bless this mess, this mess is mine

Bridge Am Em The howling doomsday dogs are snapping at your feet Am D 'Round here the sky is cracked, but won't admit defeat Cadd9 G/B Down here there they got your back and stood at your side Em D This treasure chest of rags still keeps this dream alive
