God Bless This Mess

Sheryl Crow

Text File

A great new song from Sheryl's new album "Detours"

Recorded half a step lower, but this is the version Sheryl plays on-stage.


G              D
Daddy's in the hallway
        Am
Hanging pictures on the wall
G             D
Mama's in the kitchen
       Am
Making casseroles for all
   G                 D
My brother came home yesterday
     Am
From somewhere far away
           G             D
He doesn't look like I remember
        Am
He just stares off into space
           G              D
He must've seen some ugly things
   Am
He just can't seem to say

Em  C          G
God bless this mess
Em  C          G
God bless this mess


Got a job in town
Selling insurance on the phone
With Robert and Teresa
And two con men from back home
Everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat
Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that
Something has gone missing 

And it makes me kinda sad, oh

God bless this mess 
God bless this mess
God bless this mess

Heard about the day 
that two skyscrapers came down
Firemen, policemen
And people came from all around
The smoke covered the city 
And the body count arise
The president spoke words of comfort
With tears in his eyes
Then he led us as a nation 
Into a war all based on lies, oh

God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
