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

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

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
