x mess of things- Michael McDermott - www.Michael-McDermott.com
F
the sweet kentucky rain, hit the new york street
F C F
i was on the lamb, i was in retreat
Bb
but i swore i’d never let this happen again
F
but i’m on 23rd waiting on a friend
Bb
this city, girl, got the best of me
F C F
and taught me how to make a mess of things
F
through recent history i have never known
C F
this feeling of feeling so alone
Bb
listen to me i’ve said it before
F
that i love you and will forevermore
Bb
like a poet writes, a singer sings
F C F
and you and i, make a mess of things
Dm C Bb
the circus lights shine as bright as day
F
and i’m terrified by what you might say
Dm C Bb
sometimes i behave just like a kid
Gm F
but i love you and i always did
F
the trouble with trouble is that it sometimes sticks
C F
plays tricks with your mind while it gets its kicks
Bb
and slowly there’s a momentum shift
F
and the weight becomes too great to lift
Bb
i woke up last night, i heard my mama scream
F C F
saying boy you always make a mess of things
Bb
what will become babe, of you and me
F C F
cuz we keep on making a mess of things
