Life is Messy

Intro: C  F  C  F

                            C    F              C
When you're the last one to know what everybody knows
            G
Shame falls down
                            C   F              C
When you're the last one to see what everybody sees
            G    F               C
Shame falls down like rain falls down

        F			    C
Life is messy, it's starting to repress me
         C/B   Am     Am/G#           D/F#
Time and time again I think I'm gonna win
                      G
And it blows up in my face
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rodney_crowell/life_is_messy_crd.html ]
When your last hope is gone and you're feelin’ so unable
Shame falls down
When your heart won't open up and there's love left on the table
Fame falls down like rain falls down

Life is messy, it's starting to distress me
They sell it in the press, they smell it on your breath
But you keep on comin’ clean
        F
Life is messy

                      C     F                        C 
I don't wanna go back home, the streets are lined in rubble
  C/B                  Am  /G F                 G           
A heart that's made of stone  can lead you into trouble

Life is messy, it's trying to depress me
They can kick you in the nuts, they can hit you where it hurts
Don't get down on your knees

Life is Messy, I feel like Elvis Presley
At a very early age they put you in a cage
Ad they push you out on stage
Life Is Messy
