Intro: Ab

Verse 1:
              Db
So I'm all surrounded
                                  Ab
By the things I thought I put away
               Db
And I'm all surrounded
                                Ab
By the things I thought I put away
                           Db
And there's a pile in the closet
                                Ab
That's where I threw some yesterday
                  Db
Maybe under the rug
                                     Ab
That's where I swept some the other day
                        Db
So the mess is drawing forces
                      Ab
Outside I hear them say
                        Db
Just come out with your hands up
                        Ab
So we can blow you away

Chorus:
                     Gb
And I walk out the door
               Db
Get blown wide open
                     Ab
By the things I put away
                   Gb
And I wasn't even warned
                Db
Just blown wide open
                        Ab
Now the mess is where I lay

Solo: Db Ab Db Ab

Verse 2:
             Db
So I'm all surrounded
                                Ab
By the things I thought I put away
              Db
So I'm all surrounded
                                Ab
By the things I thought I put away
               Db
And if I'm a slob
                                Ab
Well I never looked at it that way
          Db
Irresponsible
                             Ab
Well you're not the first to say
                   Db
But I told her I'm sorry
                       Ab
I never wanted it this way
               Db
Yeah, I still need her
                      Ab
But the mess won't go away

Chorus:
                Gb
And I walk the door
                Db
Get blown wide open
                       Ab
By the things I put away
                    Gb
And I'm out on the porch
                 Db
Just blown wide open
                         Ab
Now the mess is where I lay

Solo -x4-: Db Ab Db Ab

Outro:
                  Gb
Yeah, blown wide open
            Db
Blown wide open
            Ab
Blown wide open
             Ab
Blown wide open
                   Gb
The gun's still smokin'
               Db
Blood keeps flowin'
            Ab
Blown wide open
             Ab
Blown wide open
              Gb   Db   Ab
While she's going
         Db
All surrounded
