B            C#m
So I'm on my own now
E                B/D#
Passing through faces
B                  C#m
Stumbling through downtown
E             B/D#
Far from the pavement
B             C#m
On my way to see you
E              B/D#
What else am I gonna do?
  B                    C#m
I know that I'm just a mess
                     E                      B/D#
And you're just the person that changed my life

       B              C#m
Time stops as I stand at your door
     E             B/D#
I'm losing focus, lost it all
    B             C#m
We had before we said goodbye
     E              B/D#
You made me cry, I won't deny
      B                C#m
That yes, we lied and told our friends
      E                B/D#
That we were fine and played pretend
    B                C#m
But I'm so scared of being alone
     C              G/B
And you're the only one that feels like home

Chorus:
E          C#m
I'm just a mess
                A
Now I'm just a mess
                                            E
And you're just the person that changed my life
           F#m
I'm just a mess
                A
Now I'm just a mess
                                            E
And you're just the person that changed my life
           C#m
I'm just a mess
                A
Now I'm just a mess
                                            E
And you're just the person that changed my life
           F#m
I'm just a mess
                A
Now I'm just a mess
                                            E  B
And you're just the person that changed my life

The rain starts to come down
My hands start to shakin'
I'm scared of this comedown
That I have been waiting
Anxiety creeps now
No hands there to reach out
I know that I'm just a mess
And you're just the person that changed my life

Time stops as I stand at your door
I'm losing focus, lost it all
We had before we said goodbye
You made me cry, I won't deny
That yes, we lied and told our friends
That we were fine and played pretend
But I'm so scared of being alone
And you're the only one that feels like home

Chorus:
I'm just a mess
Now I'm just a mess
And you're just the person that changed my life
I'm just a mess
Now I'm just a mess
You're just the person that changed my life
I'm just a mess
Now I'm just a mess
You're just the person that changed my life
I'm just a mess
Now I'm just a mess
And you're just the person that changed my life

       E             F#m
Time stops as I stand at your door
     A
I'm losing focus, lost it all
    E             F#m
We had before we said goodbye
     A
You made me cry, I won't deny
      E                F#m
That yes, we lied and told our friends
      A
That we were fine and played pretend
    E                F#m
But I'm so scared of being alone
     A                                   E
And you're the only one that feels like home

Chorus:
I'm just a mess
Now I'm just a mess
And you're just the person that changed my life
I'm just a mess
Now I'm just a mess
You're just the person that changed my life
I'm just a mess
Now I'm just a mess
You're just the person that changed my life
I'm just a mess
Now I'm just a mess
And you're just the person that changed my life
