Mess Things Up

Eric Damiano


Tom: G

C

[Verse 1]
C                 G
Here I go again runnin out of time
D                 Em           D   C
Both silent cause I crossed a line
                      G                     D
Lookin back, did you even have a chance in this circumstance?
Em     D
Guess not so
C
If you leave
G                          D
Couldn’t blame you not to talk to me
Em       D
Wishing you the best and
C         G        D
if you need anything
Em
oh God


[Chorus]
D         C                  G
Why do I break everything I touch?
               D                   Em
You’d think I hate all the ones I love
D           C
But I move onto the next one
   G
I don’t pick my victims
   D
I promise I mean well
   N.C                     C  G  D
I guess I just mess things up
   Em           D           C  G  D  Em D
(I guess I just mess things up)


[Verse 2]
C               G
Meet again the cycle continues
D                      Em               D
I’m afraid to be the thing that you’ve been through
C               G
Hide the body, set caution tape
      D                        Em        D
Cause no one’s a winner in this filthy game
       C
But if we go the distance
    G
Conquer the mile
   D
Detach from the past
         Em     D
Hold up for awhile
         C
Acknowledge the feeling
     G
Up from the pavement
    D
I’m so full of “I” statements


[Chorus]
          C                  G
Why do I break everything I touch?
               D                   Em
You’d think I hate all the ones I love
D           C
But I move onto the next one
   G
I don’t pick my victims
   N.C
I promise I mean well
     N.C
I guess I just mess things up
          C                  G
Why do I break everything I touch?
               D                   Em
You’d think I hate all the ones I love
D           C
But I move onto the next one
    G
I don’t pick my victims
     D
I promise I mean well
   Em           D          C
I guess I just mess things up


[Outro]
C
Numb the pain
G                                D
People tell me I should take it day by day
Em             D            C
Tired of the lessons I want you to stay
G                         D
Everyone around me livin so okay
   Em          D
I want it that way
C
Burn the bridge
G                         D
Never get enough I know I get what I give
Em           D                  C
Finding me awake at night as I reminisce
G                              D
Prayin for the day that I can let me live
       Em        D   C   G   D  Em D C
but I feel like this
