Verse 1

In a dream that I can't seem to shake she is,

Fill 1

She is standing alone

By the fence I see tears in her eyes

Fill 2

Why she cries I just don't know

Chorus

What a mess that I make of my days

And theres you you're, a mess to be made

  A mess to be made

A (Fill 3)

A dream starts to fade...

Verse 2

So you're leavin for months at a time

I, I help you out the door

Once your gone I just stare out the window

Fill 2

Please, would you please come back home

Chorus

What a mess that I make of my days

  Tryin to save myself, save myself

Then there's you you're, a mess to be made

  A canvas only paint could change

Bridge

And a voice on the other end of the phone says

  Why don't you write a song about it

  Fill 2

Well here it goes, I was raised on something that you'll never know

I'd hate this place if it weren't for the waves

  If it weren't for the fact that we love it

  Where they measure a man on the money he spends

D Fill 2

Well my love, it's not a bank statement

Chorus

What a mess that I make of my days

  Tryin to save myself, save myself

Then theres you you're, a mess to be made

  A mess to be made

  A mess to be made

  A dream starts to fade away...
