Key: E major

Intro 1

Verse 1
E E 
 
I'm a mess
Even at my best
I'm dismantling my chances
A A 
 
B B 
 
Even as I win
A bunch
A A 
 
B B 
 
I got tripwires to finesse
E E 
 
I'm a  mess

Verse 2
E E 
 
Now I  ain't right
If there's a test tonight
I will ask for an extension
B B 
 
As I slide my desk
A bit
A A 
 
B B 
 
Toward the conman dressed in white
E E 
 
I ain't right

Verse 3
A A 
 
In fact it's messier still
E E 
 
That mess is a hook that drags me along
A A 
 
B B 
 
And now that mess has an entourage
A A 
 
All dressed in dungarees
B B 
 
What went wrong?
E E 
 

Verse 4
E E 
 
I  confess
And like a chess piece, yes
I have rolled under your piano
B B 
 
That you don't play
A lot
A A 
 
But I'm sorry, I digress
B B 
 
I'm a mess
E E 
 

Verse 5
So let me out
Don't want to be your mouse
I want to find a softer spot
B B 
 
For my crash landing
A A 
 
B B 
 
Not much to talk about
E E 
 
Let me out

Verse 6
A A 
 
In fact it's messier still
That mess on the loose
E E 
 
and leading the mob
A A 
 
They march with pitchforks
B B 
 
and torches now
A A 
 
B B 
 
They have your old ID disavowed
