[Verse 1]
A#
So I'm all surrounded
F
By the things I thought I put away
A#
And I'm all surrounded
F
By the things I thought I put away
A#
And there's a pile in the closet
F
That's where I threw some yesterday
A#
Maybe under the rug
F
That's where I swept some the other day
A#
So the mess is drawing forces
F
Outside I hear them say
A#
Just come out with your hands up
F
So we can blow you away
[Chorus]
D#
And I walk out the door
A#
Get blown wide open
F
By the things I put away
D#
And I wasn't even warned
A#
Just blown wide open
F
Now the mess is where I lay
[Solo]

By the things I thought I put away

And if I'm a slob
F
Well I never looked at it that way

Irresponsible

Well you're not the first to say
A#
But I told her I'm sorry

I never wanted it this way

Yeah, I still need her
