Intro
A#
[Verse 1]
D#
So I'm all surrounded
A#
By the things I thought I put away
D#
And I'm all surrounded
A#
By the things I thought I put away
D#
And there's a pile in the closet
A#
That's where I threw some yesterday
D#
Maybe under the rug
A#
That's where I swept some the other day
D#
So the mess is drawing forces
A#
Outside I hear them say
D#
Just come out with your hands up
A#
So we can blow you away
[Chorus]
G#
And I walk out the door
D#
Get blown wide open
A#
By the things I put away
G#
And I wasn't even warned
D#
Just blown wide open
A#
Now the mess is where I lay
[Solo]
D# A# D# A#
[Verse 2]
D#
So I'm all surrounded
A#
By the things I thought I put away
D#
So I'm all surrounded
A#
By the things I thought I put away
D#
And if I'm a slob
A#
Well I never looked at it that way
D#
Irresponsible
A#
Well you're not the first to say
D#
But I told her I'm sorry
A#
I never wanted it this way
D#
Yeah, I still need her
A#
But the mess won't go away
[Chorus]
G#
And I walk the door
D#
Get blown wide open
A#
By the things I put away
G#
And I'm out on the porch
D#
Just blown wide open
A#
Now the mess is where I lay
[Solo]

[Outro]

Yeah, blown wide open
D#
Blown wide open
A#
Blown wide open

Blown wide open
G#
The gun's still smokin'
D#
Blood keeps flowin'
A#
Blown wide open

Blown wide open
G# D# A#
While she's going
D#
All surrounded
