[Verse 1]
I guess Cold men on the street
Prove that Gtime really does fly
And I guess Ampawn shop diamond rings
Proves that Fgirls love goodbyes
And I guess a Cblack dress at a funeral
Means that Glife has one stage
And I guess a Amgirl like you lovin’ me must mean
FAngels love anything
[Chorus]
Cause I’m a messed-up Ckid
With nothing to Gspare
Turn a Amsaint into a heathen
With my Fhands going through your hair
I'm a messed up Ckid
Nothing to Gshow
Except a Amgirl saying she’ll be here
FEverywhere I go
I’m a messed-up Ckid

Well my Cold man says I’m wild
And my Gmomma says I’m reckless
And that Amcolor in your eyes
reminds Fme of East Texas

[Intro]

C G Am F

[Verse 1]

I guess old men on the street

Prove that time really does fly

And I guess pawn shop diamond rings

Proves that girls love goodbyes

And I guess a black dress at a funeral

Means that life has one stage

And I guess a girl like you lovin’ me must mean

Angels love anything

[Chorus]

Cause I’m a messed-up kid

With nothing to spare

Turn a saint into a heathen

With my hands going through your hair

I'm a messed up kid

Nothing to show

Except a girl saying she’ll be here

Everywhere I go

I’m a messed-up kid

G Am F

[Verse 2]

Well my old man says I’m wild

And my momma says I’m reckless

And that color in your eyes

reminds me of East Texas

[Chorus]

I’m a messed-up kid

With nothing to spare

Turn a saint into a heathen

With my hands going through your hair

I'm a messed up kid

All this bullshit that I’ve been through

And all the hardship’s I’ve grown akin to

They take me around and leave me feeling down

but you pick me up every time

[Chorus]

Cause I’m a messed-up kid

With nothing to spare

Turn a saint into a heathen

With my hands going through your hair

I'm a Messed up kid

Nothing to show

Except a girl saying she’ll be here

Everywhere I go

I’m a messed-up kid

With nothing to spare

Turn a saint into a heathen

With my hands going through your hair

Messed up kid
