Verse
G7 E7 Am7 D7
Maybe I'm just a mess and you made me this way
G7 E7 Am7 D7
I could try to impress you but my brain and words will never obey
G7 E7
Just scramble my words leave them sunny side up
Am7 D7
The smile on your face means my tongue's tying up
G7 E7
And maybe I'll eventually give it up
Am7 D7
But given my luck I'm not giving too much
Bm7 E7
And maybe I don't deserve you but
Am7 D7 Bm7
Lately Hiding from virtue won't make me
E7
Run away from you
Am7 D7
Oh I just don't understand
[Chorus]
G7 E7 Am7 D7
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
G7 E7
But I don't believe a word that they say
Am7 D7
I won't pay them any mind
G7 E7
Oh I just want you to know
Am7 D7
That if I don't really show
Bm7 E7
How I feel
Am7 D7
Just know that it's real
Yeah
[Verse 2]
G7 E7 Am7
Maybe I just don't get the message
D7 G7
Maybe I'm just a lonely mess and
E7 Am7
How the breeze fumbles with your dress is
D7 Bm7
Another reason I'm hypnotized
E7 Am7
See the amazon in your eyes
D7 Bm7
Dream of ways I can stand beside
E7 Am7
Be your sun when the rain subsides
Cm D7
I just want you to know
[Chorus]
G7 E7 Am7 D7
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
G7 E7
But I don't believe a word that they say
Am7 D7
I won't pay them any mind
G7 E7
Oh I just want you to know
Am7 D7
That if I don't really show
Bm7 E7
How I feel
Am7 D7
Just know that it's real
[Bridge]
G7 E7
Ain't a soul brighter than yours high beams down the highway
Am7 D7
Looking for a better thing wouldn't happen even if I tried it
G7 E7
All of my words tripping over obstacles and hurdles
Am7 D7
Tryna find a way to speak to you is eternal
G7 E7
I pull up in the driveway too nervous to respond
Am7
To your message I'm sorry
C7 Bm7
I know that I don't dese rve you
E7 Am7 G7
But Lord knows I love you
[Chorus]
G7 E7 Am7 D7
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
G7 E7
But I don't believe a word that they say
Am7 D7
I won't pay them any mind
G7 E7
Oh I just want you to know
Am7 D7
That if I don't really show
Bm7 E7
How I feel
Am7 D7
Just know that it's real
