Bless This Mess Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Rachel Lark

[INTRO]
[G] [Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [Cm] [G] [D] [G]

[VERSE 1]
No [G]one did the dishes
It's been a [Gmaj7]week, that's disgraceful
The [G7]faucet was dripping
That's [Cmaj7]terribly wasteful
There's [Cm]coffee mugs sticky with [G]liquor and wine
And it's [D]likely the plant in the ba[G]throom has died
I'm as[G]hamed of the state of our [Gmaj7]house, that's no lie
But I'm [G7]also ashamed of the wa[Cmaj7]ys that I try
to [Cm]act like a grown up, when cle[G]arly I'm not
So for n[D]ow I'll give up and just [G]smoke some more pot
and say

[CHORUS 1]
[G]Bless this mess that we [C]live in
Oh, [G]bless this mess that we [C]live in
All this [Em]shit we don't fix, 'cause we're st[B7]ill 26
And the [C]age when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting
[G]older and [C]older
[G]older and [C]older [G]

[VERSE 2]
There's [G]clusters of rainbows
from the [Gmaj7]prism in the window
on the [G7]gold sheets on the futon
and the [Cmaj7]bunny-shaped pillow
and the [Cm]plants that aren't dead yet
and that [G]table we like
and the [D]bong that's not broken
and our [G]LED lights
and I [G]gotta say I'm proud
when I [Gmaj7]bask in the echoes
of [G7]laughter and good points
and [Cmaj7]people who let go
and [Cm]exquisite taste and a [G]vibe that's sublime
but [D]sometimes I worry we're [G]wasting our time

[CHORUS 2]
But [G]bless this mess that we [C]live in
Oh, [G]bless this mess that we [C]live in
I just [Em]don't wanna clean
and I'm [B7]not in my teens
But the [C]age when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting
[G]older and [C]older
[G]older and [C]older

[BRIDGE]
Well I'm [Em]scared and inspired and [B7]crazy and tired
and the [C]clock just keeps ticking and the arrows keep missing
and I'm [C]worried I'll waste everything I've been given
and [C]someone will find out and tell me it's time to get
[G]older and [C]older
[G]older and [C]older

[VERSE 3]
But [G]now I've cleaned up
and the a[Gmaj7]partment is back
and I [G7]even unloaded the [Cmaj7]dish drying rack
and to[Cm]day I'll make spreadsheets
and I'll [G]pay all my bills
and I'll [D]buy a new toothbrush and [G]vitamin pills
and [G]everyone will see, I'm to[Gmaj7]gether as can be
And I'll [G7]laugh off my worries, com[Cmaj7]passionately
But I'm [Cm]still never sure if I'm [G]doing it right
So for [D]now I'll give up and just [G]do drugs all night

[CHORUS 3]
And say [G]bless this mess that we [C]live in
Oh, [G]bless this mess that we [C]live in
All this [Em]shit we don't fix 'cause we're....
[B7]not 26 anymore but
The [C]age when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting [G]old - [C]er

[OUTRO]
It just keeps getting [G]old - [C]er
Just keeps getting [G]older and [C]older
