MESS IS MINE - Vance Joy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jamie
This tab is probably inaccurate, but I was kind of just trying to imitate the sound of
the song. Any corrections/suggestions would be appreciated! (Especially for the bridge -
I will post an actual tab for the bridge if I can figure it out).
Also, the lyrics don't quite fit the tab in some places - the lyrics in the verse should
all be sung near the beginning of each riff.
Thanks to Kwint and Troy for posting their chords and lyrics, they were very helpful!
Standard tuning, no capo.

Lyrics:
Verse:
Talkin’ like we use to do,
It was always me and you.
Shapin’ up and shippin’ out,
Check me in and check me out
Do you like walkin’ in the rain?
When you think of love, do you think of pain?
You can tell me what you see.
I will choose what I believe.
Chorus:
Well hold on darling,
This body is yours; this body is yours and mine.
Well hold on my darling,
This mess was yours; now your mess is mine.
Oh-ooooh. Your mess is mine.
Verse:
I see you in the marketplace,
Walking ‘round at 8am.
Got two hours before my flight,
Luck be on my side tonight.
You’re the reason that I feel so strong.
The reason that I’m hangin’ on.
You know you gave me all the time.
Well, did I give you enough of mine?
Chorus:
Hold on darling,
This body is yours; this body is yours and mine.
Well hold on my darling,
This mess was yours; now your mess is mine.
Oh-ooooh. Your mess is mine.
Oh-ooooh. Your mess is mine.
Bridge:
Bring me to your house,
Tell me, “Sorry for the mess-”
Hey, I don’t mind.
You’re talking in your sleep,
Out of time.
Well, you still make sense to me,
Your mess is mine.
Outro:
Oh-ooooh. Oooooh. Your mess is mine.
This body is yours and this body is mine.
Oooooh. Your mess is mine.
Oooooh. Your mess is mine.
