The Mess Inside Chords by Amanda Palmer

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ We took a weekend, drove to Provo, _ _ [C] _ the snow was white and fluffy.
_ _ _ [G] _ A weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us.
[C] _
The gray sky was vast and real cryptic above me, [D] and I _ wanted _ you to [C] _ [Em] love me like [C] you used to do.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ We took two weeks in the Bahamas, _ _ [C] _ we went out dancing every night.
_ _ [G] We tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things.
[C] _ Most of the time, I guess I felt alright, [D] but I wanted _ you _ [C] to love me like you used to do.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
But you cannot run, _ _ [C] _ _
we cannot _ _ hide, [G] _
from the wreck we made of our house, [C] _
_ from the mess [Bm] inside.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ We _ _ _ _ went down to New Orleans, _ [C] _ one weekend in the spring.
_ _ [G] _ We looked hard for what we'd lost.
[C] It was painful to admit it, [D] but we couldn't find a thing, [C] and I _ wanted _ [D]
you _ [G] to love me
like you used [C] to do.
I _ wanted [D] _
you [G] to love me like you [C] used to do.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ We went to New York City in September.
We [C] took the train out of Manhattan [D] to the Grand Army [G] Stop, and we found the bench we'd
sat together on a thousand years [C] ago.
When I felt such love for [D] you, I thought my heart was gonna [C] pop, and I _ [D] wanted you _ to love
me like you [Am] used to do.
_ [G] I wanted [D] _
you _ to [Bm] love me like you [C] used to _ [G] do. _ _ _ _
_ We cannot run, _ [C] _
_ we cannot _ _ _ [G]
hide, from the wreck we made of our house, [C] _
from [G] the mess inside. _ _ _
We cannot run, _ [C] _
we cannot _ _ hide, [G] _
from the wreck we made of our house, _ [C] _
from the [G] mess [D] inside.
