Mess Ukulele chords by Noah Kahan

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

intro:
Bb  A

Verse 1:
Bb
If I could give this all back
               F
I would be home in the morning
Gm
I'd wake up in a cold sweat
                      F
Take a flight back to the city I was born in
Bm
And I would wipe myself clean
               A
Of what I knew was unimportant
Gm
I'd want typical things

I'd try to fit back into all my old clothing


Pre-Chorus:
Eb
And I would prove myself wrong
Gm
That all along, the problem was me
F
With all my bitterness gone

Happy, I'd be


Chorus:
Bb
I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs
Eb
And I'll put all my pieces back together

Where they belong, and I'll say
Gm      F        Bb    Eb
"I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess"
  Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love
             Eb
And I'll help her set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk, and she'll say
Gm          F          Bb       Eb
"Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess
  Gm       F       Bb
Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God"


Verse 2:
Bb
So I paid off my debts, but I found the world boring
Gm                             Dm
So I called my old friends, but they only ever ask me how tour is
Bb
And there's still weight on my back, I just try to ignore it
Gm
I guess the stage was my mask

I forgot the way I looked before I wore it


Pre-Chorus:
Em
And I would prove myself wrong
Gm
That all along, the problem was me
F            Eb
With all my bitterness gone
F
Happy, I'll be


Chorus:
Bb
I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs
Eb
And I'll put all my pieces back together

Where they belong, and I'll say
Gm      F         Bb     Eb
"I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess"
Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love
          Eb
And I'll help her set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk, and she'll say
Gm          F           Bb        Eb
"Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess
Gm         F
Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess"


Bridge:
Eb
That's not what I had hoped

Now I find comfort in the cold


Chorus:
Bb
I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs
        Eb
And I'll put all my pieces back together

Where they belong, and I'll say
Gm      F         Bb      Eb
"I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess"
Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love
       Eb
And I'll help her set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk, and she'll say
Gm          F           Bb       Eb
"Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess
Gm         F           Bb
Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God"
