Intro: Bb F Bb
Verse: 1
Bb
If I could give this all back
F Gm
I would be home in the morning
Gm
I'd wake up in a cold sweat
F Bb
Take a flight back to the city I was born in
Bb
And I would wipe myself clean
F Gm
Of what I knew was unimportant
I'd want typical things
F
I'd try to fit back into all my old clothing
Pre-Chorus
Eb
And I would prove myself wrong
Gm F
That all along, the problem was me
F
With all my bitterness gone
Happy, I'd be
Bb
I'll move back home forever
I'll feed the dogs and I'll put all
Eb
My pieces back together where they belong
Gm F
And I'll say, 'I'm a mess, I'm a mess
Bb Eb
Oh God, I'm a mess'
Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston
See my love and I'll help her
Eb
Set up her new apartment
And we'll get drunk and she'll say
Gm F
'Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess
Bb Eb
Good God, you're a mess
Gm F
Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess
Bb
Good God'
Verse: 2
Bb F Gm
So I paid off my debts but I found the world boring
F Bb
So I called my old friends but they only ever ask me how tour is
Eb F Gm
And there's still weight on my back, I just try to ignore it
I guess the stage was my mask
F
I forgot the way I looked before I wore it
Pre-Chorus:
Eb
And I would prove myself wrong
Gm F
That all along, the problem was me
F
With all my bitterness gone
Happy, I'll be
Chorus
Bb
I'll move back home forever
I'll feed the dogs and I'll put all
Eb
My pieces back together where they belong
Gm F
And I'll say, 'I'm a mess, I'm a mess
Bb Eb
Oh god, I'm a mess'
Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston
See my love and I'll help her
Eb
Set up her new apartment
And we'll get drunk and she'll say
Gm F
'Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess
Bb Eb
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
Bb
I'll move back home forever
I'll feed the dogs and I'll put all
Eb
My pieces back together where they belong

And I'll say, 'I'm a mess, I'm a mess
Bb Eb
Oh God, I'm a mess'
Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston
See my love and I'll help her
Eb
Set up her new apartment
And we'll get drunk and she'll say
Gm F
'Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess
Bb Eb
Good God, you're a mess
Gm F
Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess
Bb
Good God'
