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

Blood keeps flowin'

All surrounded
