[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"
