[Verse 1]
D6*                D6*/B
Oh, woman, tell me what you want
    Asus2     Gadd9
And I'll calm down without bleeding out
       F#madd11*             Asus2/C#
With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour
D6*                   D6*/B         Asus2       Gadd9
Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know
                        F#madd11*     Asus2/C#
My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul

D6*                           D6*/B            Asus2    Gadd9
Woman, too, promise me you'll stay and put off all your woes
                            F#madd11*
I was wigging out, too much worry
            Asus2/C#
I could not get you at all
    D6*                                        D6*/B
And you said what you want, you would laugh it off
           Asus2     Gadd9
But I know you won't go, not for it at last
         F#madd11*              Asus2/C#
Must you write it off for the impossible soul?
    D6*                           D6*/B                Asus2   Gadd9
And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow
                         F#madd11*              Asus2/C#
Lest I put it off, for I put it right for the impossible soul

[Chorus 1]
    Em7            D                    Bm      C     C/G
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
G6         A
If I could get you at all
G6                             Bm*              A
Don't be a wreck, trying to be something that I wasn't at all

D6*                                 D6*/B           Asus2    Gadd9
Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone
                             F#madd11*            Asus2/C#
To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all
    D6*                                       D6*/B                 Asus2
And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"
          Gadd9
But all I want is the perfect love
         F#madd11*               Asus2/C#
Though I know it's small, I want love for us all

[Chorus 2]
    Em7            D                    Bm      C     C/G
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
G6         A                G6
If I could get you at all
             Bm*              A
Trying to be something that I wasn't at all

C            Am            Em
Boy, we made such a mess together
C            Am            Em
Boy, we made such a mess together
C            Am            Em
Boy, we made such a mess together
C            Am            Em
Boy, we made such a mess together
C            Am            Em
Boy, we made such a mess together
C            Am            Em
Boy, we made such a mess together
