Verse 1
If I could [Bb]give this all back
I would be home in the [F]morning [Gm]
I'd wake up in a cold sweat [Gm]
Take a flight back to the city I was [F]born in [Bb]
[Bb]And I would wipe myself clean
Of what I knew was unimp[F]unimportant [Gm]
I'd want typical things
I'd try to fit back into all my old cl[F]clothing
Pre-Chorus
[Eb]And I would prove myself wrong
That [Gm]all along, the problem was me [F]
[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
And I'll say, [Gm]"I'm a mess, [F]I'm a mess
Oh [Bb]God, I'm a mess" [Eb]
And [Bb]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]"Shit, you're a mess, [F]you're a mess
Good [Bb]God, you're a mess [Eb]
Oh,[Gm]Oh, you're a mess, [F]you're a mess
Good [Bb]God"
Verse 2
[Bb]So I paid off my debts but I found the world [F]boring [Gm]
So I called my old friends
but they only ever ask me how [F]tour is [Bb]
And there's still weight on my
back, I just [Eb]try to ign[F]ignore it [Gm]
I guess the stage was my mask
I forgot the way I looked before I [F]wore it
Pre-Chorus
[Eb]And I would prove myself wrong
That [Gm]all along, the problem was me [F]
[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
And I'll say, "[Gm]"I'm a mess, [F]I'm a mess
Oh [Bb]god, I'm a mess" [Eb]
And [Bb]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]"Shit, you're a mess, [F]you're a mess
Good [Bb]God, you're a mess [Eb]
Oh,[Gm]Oh, you're a mess, [F]you're a mess"
Bridge
That's [Eb]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
And I'll say, [Gm]"I'm a mess, [F]I'm a mess
Oh [Bb]God, I'm a mess" [Eb]
And [Bb]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]"Shit, you're a mess, [F]you're a mess
Good [Bb]God, you're a mess [Eb]
Oh,[Gm]Oh, you're a mess, [F]you're a mess
Good [Bb]God"
