Verse
A7 F#7 Bm7 E7
Maybe I'm just a mess and you made me this way
A7 F#7 Bm7 E7
I could try to impress you but my brain and words will never obey
A7 F#7
Just scramble my words leave them sunny side up
Bm7 E7
The smile on your face means my tongue's tying up
A7 F#7
And maybe I'll eventually give it up
Bm7 E7
But given my luck I'm not giving too much
C#m7 F#7
And maybe I don't deserve you but
Bm7 E7 C#m7
Lately Hiding from virtue won't make me
F#7
Run away from you
Bm7 E7
Oh I just don't understand
[Chorus]
A7 F#7 Bm7 E7
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
A7 F#7
But I don't believe a word that they say
Bm7 E7
I won't pay them any mind
A7 F#7
Oh I just want you to know
Bm7 E7
That if I don't really show
C#m7 F#7
How I feel
Bm7 E7
Just know that it's real
Yeah
[Verse 2]
A7 F#7 Bm7
Maybe I just don't get the message
E7 A7
Maybe I'm just a lonely mess and
F#7 Bm7
How the breeze fumbles with your dress is
E7 C#m7
Another reason I'm hypnotized
F#7 Bm7
See the amazon in your eyes
E7 C#m7
Dream of ways I can stand beside
F#7 Bm7
Be your sun when the rain subsides
Dm E7
I just want you to know
[Chorus]
A7 F#7 Bm7 E7
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
A7 F#7
But I don't believe a word that they say
Bm7 E7
I won't pay them any mind
A7 F#7
Oh I just want you to know
Bm7 E7
That if I don't really show
C#m7 F#7
How I feel
Bm7 E7
Just know that it's real
[Bridge]
A7 F#7
Ain't a soul brighter than yours high beams down the highway
Bm7 E7
Looking for a better thing wouldn't happen even if I tried it
A7 F#7
All of my words tripping over obstacles and hurdles
Bm7 E7
Tryna find a way to speak to you is eternal
A7 F#7
I pull up in the driveway too nervous to respond
Bm7
To your message I'm sorry
D7 C#m7
I know that I don't dese rve you
F#7 Bm7 A7
But Lord knows I love you
[Chorus]
A7 F#7 Bm7 E7
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
A7 F#7
But I don't believe a word that they say
Bm7 E7
I won't pay them any mind
A7 F#7
Oh I just want you to know
Bm7 E7
That if I don't really show
C#m7 F#7
How I feel
Bm7 E7
Just know that it's real
