I got some blood under my nails
                          Em D G C
I got some mud on my face
   Em             D
My voice is shot, I'm going grey
       G          C   Em D G C
These muscles all ache
D                          G               C
Don't cry for me, I'm the life of the party
I'm smiling most of the time
           D          G
I may be gritting my teeth,
           C              G
can't get back where we started
Em                         D
These days I'm doing just fine

Chorus:
      G         Em         C       G
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
      Em         C            G
Won't pound my chest or criticize
  Em       C                      G
I must confess, I've lived, I've died
                Em         C       G
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
     Em         C                  G
God bless this mess, this mess is mine

I knew every buried body, paid for each headstone
I may have led the prayers in public, but I cried alone
Found God through sin, but this ain't my confession
I'll wait on judgement day
It's lose or win, got no need for protection
Stand up or out of my way

Chorus

            Am                        Em
The howling doomsday dogs are snapping at your feet
               Am                         D
'Round here the sky is cracked, but won't admit defeat
               C                            G 
Down here there they got your back and stood at your side
             Em                             D
This treasure chest of rags still keeps this dream alive
