[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 [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

     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 [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

     Bb
Good God"
