So I'm all surrounded

That's where I threw some yesterday
E
Maybe under the rug

So the mess is drawing forces

Outside I hear them say
E
Just come out with your hands up
B
So we can blow you away
[Chorus]

And I walk out the door
E
Get blown wide open
B
By the things I put away

And I wasn't even warned
E
Just blown wide open
B
Now the mess is where I lay
