Verse
D#7 C7 Fm7 A#7
Maybe I'm just a mess and you made me this way
D#7 C7 Fm7 A#7
I could try to impress you but my brain and words will never obey
D#7 C7
Just scramble my words leave them sunny side up
Fm7 A#7
The smile on your face means my tongue's tying up
D#7 C7
And maybe I'll eventually give it up
Fm7 A#7
But given my luck I'm not giving too much
Gm7 C7
And maybe I don't deserve you but
Fm7 A#7 Gm7
Lately Hiding from virtue won't make me
C7
Run away from you
Fm7 A#7
Oh I just don't understand
[Chorus]
D#7 C7 Fm7 A#7
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
D#7 C7
But I don't believe a word that they say
Fm7 A#7
I won't pay them any mind
D#7 C7
Oh I just want you to know
Fm7 A#7
That if I don't really show
Gm7 C7
How I feel
Fm7 A#7
Just know that it's real
Yeah

D#7 C7 Fm7
Maybe I just don't get the message
A#7 D#7
Maybe I'm just a lonely mess and
C7 Fm7
How the breeze fumbles with your dress is
A#7 Gm7
Another reason I'm hypnotized
C7 Fm7
See the amazon in your eyes
A#7 Gm7
Dream of ways I can stand beside
C7 Fm7
Be your sun when the rain subsides
G#m A#7
I just want you to know
[Chorus]
D#7 C7 Fm7 A#7
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side

[Bridge]
D#7 C7
Ain't a soul brighter than yours high beams down the highway
Fm7 A#7
Looking for a better thing wouldn't happen even if I tried it
D#7 C7
All of my words tripping over obstacles and hurdles
Fm7 A#7
Tryna find a way to speak to you is eternal
D#7 C7
I pull up in the driveway too nervous to respond
Fm7
To your message I'm sorry
G#7 Gm7
I know that I don't dese rve you
C7 Fm7 D#7
But Lord knows I love you
[Chorus]
D#7 C7 Fm7 A#7
