mess of things- Michael McDermott - www.Michael-McDermott.com
[F]the sweet kentucky rain, hit the new york street
[F]i was on the lamb, i was in retreat[C][F]
[Bb]but i swore i?d never let this happen again
but i?m on 23rd wa[F]iting on a friend
this cit[Bb]y, girl, got the best of me
and taugh[F]t me how to make a mess of things[C][F]
through recent history i have [F]never known
this feeling of feeling so alone[C][F]
[Bb]listen to me i?ve said it before
that i lov[F]e you and will forevermore
like a poe[Bb]t writes, a singer sings
and you a[F]nd i, make a mess of things[C][F]
the cir[Dm]cus lights shine as[C] bright as da[Bb]y
and i?m terri[F]fied by what you might say
[Dm]sometimes i behave just like a k[C]id[Bb]
but i lo[Gm]ve you and i always did[F]
[F]the trouble with trouble is that it sometimes sticks
plays tricks with your mind while it gets its kicks[C][F]
and slow[Bb]ly there?s a momentum shift
and the weight[F] becomes too great to lift
i woke up las[Bb]t night, i heard my mama scream
saying boy y[F]ou always make a mess of things[C][F]
wh[Bb]at will become babe, of you and me
cuz we k[F]eep on making a mess of things[C][F]
