[Verse 1]
I [G]got some blood under my nails,
I [D]got some [G]mud on my [Em]face[D][G][C]
My [Em]voice [D]is shot I'm going grey,
these [G]muscles [C]all ache
[Em][D][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[D]Don't cry for me, I'm the lif[G]e of the party
[C]I'm smiling most of the time
I may be [D]gritting my [G]teeth,
can't get [C]back where [G]we started
[Em]These days I'm doing just fine
[D]

[Verse 3]
God [G]bless [Em]this mess,
this [C]mess [G]is mine
Won't [Em]pound [C]my chest or criti[G]cize
I [Em]must [C]confess, I've lived, I've [G]died
God bless [Em]this mess, this [C]mess is [G]mine
God [Em]bless this [C]mess,
this mess is [G]mine

[G][C]
I knew [Em]every buried [D]body paid
for [G]each head [C]stone

in [D]public but [G]I cried [C]alone
[Em][D][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]Found God through sin but
this [G]ain't my confession
[C]I'll wait on judgement day
It's [D]lose or [G]win,
got no [C]need for pro[G]tection
[Em]Stand up or out of my way
[D]

[Verse 6]
God [G]bless [Em]this mess, this [C]mess is [G]mine

[Verse 7]
The [Am]howling doom day dogs are snapping
[Em]At your feet round here the
[Am]Sky is cracked but won't
[D]Admit defeat
And [C]well it got your back and [G]stood it
At your side this treasure
[Em]Chest of rags still keeps this
[D]Dream alive

[Verse 8]
God [G]bless [Em]this mess, this [C]mess is [G]mine
Won't [Em]pound my [C]chest or criti[G]cize

this mess is [G]mine
