I made a mess of this [C] town
[G] Now every sidewalk crack
Either knocks me [Dm] down
Or breaks somebody's back
And every face I see
[C] As [G] I look around
[Dm] Says it's [C] time to leave
You made a mess of this town
Hup!
Oh, with a spring in my step
And a song on my lips
I came and found out
How big this town really is
Confusing lovers and confusing friends
And making the same mistakes again and again
Till all the [Em] guys at the bar
Will [Am] they stay where they [C] are?
And all the [F#] girls on the block
[D] Will you know [Em] how girls talk?
[B] And all the lights on the streets
[A]
Incandescent and [Am] mean
Cause the word [F#m] got around
Oh man, I made a mess of this town
[C] This town
[C] [F] [C]
[E] [C] [E]
[C] [G]
[Em] Cause there's people you [C] meet
[Dm] And then there's people you [C] know
Some keep you on your [Dm] feet
And [G] some don't let them go
[G] That's why I sit [C] at the bar
And I dream of the day
That I get the means to mean what I say
I'm gonna leave [Bm] this town
In [F#] a cloud of dust
[D] With a 50 cent [C] lighter
[D] And a whiskey [C] buzz
[F#] And then there will be [C] a day
[A] When I come back around
And [B] when to ask why I say
[C] It's cause I made a mess of
You
[G]
[N] [G]
[A] [N] seem like nice people
I [D#] appreciate that very much
[G] Now every sidewalk crack
Either knocks me [Dm] down
Or breaks somebody's back
And every face I see
[C] As [G] I look around
[Dm] Says it's [C] time to leave
You made a mess of this town
Hup!
