Chorus: E D F#m E Bridge: D Bm C# (and ending - end on F#m) There was a time when I had nothing to explain Oh, this mess I have made But then things got complicated My innocence has all but faded Oh, this mess that I have made And I don't believe in god so I can't be saved All alone as I've learned to be In this mess that I have made All the untested virtue The things I said I'd never do Least of all to you I know he's kind and true I know that he is good to you He'll never care for you more than I do But I don't believe in love So I can't be changed All alone as I've learned to be In this mess (Bridge) I have made the same mistakes Over and over again There are some rooms in this house that I don't Open anymore Dusty books and pictures on the floor That she will never see She'll never see that part of me I want to be for her What I could never be for you But I don't believe in god so I can't be saved All alone as I've learned to be In this mess that I have made
