F
the sweet kentucky rain, hit the new york street
F                                        C      F
i was on the lamb, i was in retreat
Bb
but i swore i?d never let this happen again
                  F
but i?m on 23rd waiting on a friend
        Bb
this city, girl, got the best of me
         F                                         C             F
and taught me how to make a mess of things
          		      F
through recent history i have never known
					  C    F
this feeling of feeling so alone
Bb                  
listen to me i?ve said it before
          F                                  
that i love you and will forevermore
          Bb        
like a poet writes, a singer sings
         F     			    C            F
and you and i, make a mess of things

       Dm                 C            Bb
the circus lights shine as bright as day
             F         
and i?m terrified by what you might say
 
Dm                              C      Bb
sometimes i behave just like a kid
        Gm                                          F
but i love you and i always did
F
the trouble with trouble is that it sometimes sticks
									C          F
plays tricks with your mind while it gets its kicks
        Bb               
and slowly there?s a momentum shift
              F   
and the weight becomes too great to lift
             Bb      
i woke up last night, i heard my mama scream
            F    			                 C               F
saying boy you always make a mess of things
  Bb         
what will become babe, of you and me
        F                                  C             F
cuz we keep on making a mess of things
