[Intro] G Am D [Verse 1]
     G                     Am
The original mixed-up kid, sleeps with the ladies all night

D                            G
Home in the morning light to nothin'

       G                   Am
Climbs in to an empty bed, pillows around his head

D                           G
Hide the tears he sheds for no one
[Bridge]
    C          D                   G   D/F# Em
And Byron said happiness is born a twin

   C                    D                G  D/F# Em
In those who share, for they will always win

    C                      D
But what about the man who tries so hard

        G        D/F#       Em A D
But his heart is locked within
[Verse 2]
     G                               Am
The original mixed-up kid, must have been at the end of the line

          D                              G
When they gave out the forms to sign for someone
[Bridge]
       C                 D                      G D/F# Em
And he can't make up his mind where he wants to go

              C                    D                       G   D/F# Em
Ain't there a heaven ain't there a hell well he just don't know

         C              D
For in a crowded street he can see the sleet

         G         D/F#         Em  Am D
When the other men just see the snow
[Verse 3]
     G                    Am
The original mixed-up kid be on your conscience bound

        D                          G
For you turned him upside down for nothin'

[Outro]
        E           G
Whoa-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh

        E           G
Whoa-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh

        E           G
Whoa-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh

        E           G
Whoa-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh
E G E G
