[Intro]
G  Bm  G7  C  Cm  G  D  G
[Verse 1]
No Gone did the dishes
It's been a Bmweek, that's disgraceful
The G7faucet was dripping
That's Cterribly wasteful
There's Cmcoffee mugs sticky with Gliquor and wine
And it's Dlikely the plant in the baGthroom has died
I'm asGhamed of the state of our Bmhouse, that's no lie
But I'm G7also ashamed of the waCys that I try
to Cmact like a grown up, when cleGarly I'm not
So for nDow I'll give up and just Gsmoke some more pot
and say
[Chorus 1]
GBless this mess that we Clive in
Oh, Gbless this mess that we Clive in
All this Emshit we don't fix, 'cause we're stB7ill 26
And the Cage when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting
Golder and Colder
Golder and ColderG  
{Verse 2]
There's Gclusters of rainbows
from the Bmprism in the window
on the G7gold sheets on the futon
and the Cbunny-shaped pillow
and the Cmplants that aren't dead yet
and that Gtable we like
and the Dbong that's not broken
and our GLED lights
and I Ggotta say I'm proud
when I Bmbask in the echoes
of G7laughter and good points
and Cpeople who let go
and Cmexquisite taste and a Gvibe that's sublime
but Dsometimes I worry we're Gwasting our time
[Chorus 2]
But Gbless this mess that we Clive in
Oh, Gbless this mess that we Clive in
I just Emdon't wanna clean
and I'm B7not in my teens
But the Cage when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting
Golder and Colder
Golder and Colder
[Bridge]
Well I'm Emscared and inspired and B7crazy and tired
and the Cclock just keeps ticking and the arrows keep missing
and I'm Cworried I'll waste everything I've been given
and Csomeone will find out and tell me it's time to get
Golder and Colder
Golder and Colder
[Verse 3]
But Gnow I've cleaned up
and the aBmpartment is back
and I G7even unloaded the Cdish drying rack
and toCmday I'll make spreadsheets
and I'll Gpay all my bills
and I'll Dbuy a new toothbrush and Gvitamin pills
and Geveryone will see, I'm toBmgether as can be
And I'll G7laugh off my worries, comCpassionately
But I'm Cmstill never sure if I'm Gdoing it right
So for Dnow I'll give up and just Gdo drugs all night
[Chorus 3]
And say Gbless this mess that we Clive in
Oh, Gbless this mess that we Clive in
All this Emshit we don't fix 'cause we're....
B7not 26 anymore but
The Cage when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting Gold - Cer
[Outro]
It just keeps getting Gold - Cer
Just keeps getting Golder and Colder

[Intro]

G Bm G7 C Cm G D G

[Verse 1]

No one did the dishes

It's been a week, that's disgraceful

The faucet was dripping

That's terribly wasteful

Cm G

There's coffee mugs sticky with liquor and wine

D G

And it's likely the plant in the bathroom has died

G Bm

I'm ashamed of the state of our house, that's no lie

G7 C

But I'm also ashamed of the ways that I try

Cm G

to act like a grown up, when clearly I'm not

D G

So for now I'll give up and just smoke some more pot

and say

[Chorus 1]

G C

Bless this mess that we live in

G C

Oh, bless this mess that we live in

Em B7

All this shit we don't fix, 'cause we're still 26

And the age when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting

G C

older and older

G C G

older and older

{Verse 2]

There's clusters of rainbows

from the prism in the window

on the gold sheets on the futon

and the bunny-shaped pillow

and the plants that aren't dead yet

and that table we like

and the bong that's not broken

and our LED lights

and I gotta say I'm proud

when I bask in the echoes

of laughter and good points

and people who let go

Cm G

and exquisite taste and a vibe that's sublime

D G

but sometimes I worry we're wasting our time

[Chorus 2]

G C

But bless this mess that we live in

G C

Oh, bless this mess that we live in

I just don't wanna clean

and I'm not in my teens

But the age when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting

G C

older and older

G C

older and older

[Bridge]

Em B7

Well I'm scared and inspired and crazy and tired

and the clock just keeps ticking and the arrows keep missing

and I'm worried I'll waste everything I've been given

and someone will find out and tell me it's time to get

G C

older and older

G C

older and older

[Verse 3]

But now I've cleaned up

and the apartment is back

G7 C

and I even unloaded the dish drying rack

and today I'll make spreadsheets

and I'll pay all my bills

D G

and I'll buy a new toothbrush and vitamin pills

G Bm

and everyone will see, I'm together as can be

G7 C

And I'll laugh off my worries, compassionately

Cm G

But I'm still never sure if I'm doing it right

D G

So for now I'll give up and just do drugs all night

[Chorus 3]

G C

And say bless this mess that we live in

G C

Oh, bless this mess that we live in

All this shit we don't fix 'cause we're....

not 26 anymore but

C G C

The age when we call ourselves grown ups just keeps getting old - er

[Outro]

G C

It just keeps getting old - er

G C

Just keeps getting older and older
