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

[Verse 2]
G#
So I'm all surrounded
D#
By the things I thought I put away
G#
So I'm all surrounded
D#
By the things I thought I put away
G#
And if I'm a slob
D#
Well I never looked at it that way
G#
Irresponsible
D#
Well you're not the first to say
G#
But I told her I'm sorry
D#
I never wanted it this way
G#
Yeah, I still need her
D#
But the mess won't go away
[Chorus]
C#
And I walk the door
G#
Get blown wide open
D#
By the things I put away
C#
And I'm out on the porch
G#
Just blown wide open
D#
Now the mess is where I lay
[Solo]

Blood keeps flowin'

All surrounded
