Em                        D 
I'm in love with the thought of you 
       C                            D 
But a thought's not enough to hold onto 
         Em                  D 
Oh, the distance just made a mess 
         Em                       G 
And the warmest embrace couldn't fix it 
 
         C                 B7 
Now I'm helpless when I'm alone 
         C                B7 
I can't be in my room at all 
         Em           D    C 
And the truth is that I'm a mess 
          Em          D    C 
Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you 
 
         Em                  G 
I'm in love with the way it was 
         C                       D 
When you had faith that we had a purpose 
       Em                           D 
Oh, I dreamed and you dreamed with me 
        C                        G 
Of the life that could never deserve us 
 
         c                 B7 
Now I'm helpless when I'm alone 
          c                     B7 
Oh, this home's not a home at all 
         Em            D     C 
And the truth is that I'm a mess 
         Em            D     C 
Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you 
 
   C                    C 
I guess you never know what the future holds 
 C              C           G                   Em 
Just two weeks ago, we were happy, maybe it was just me 
C                          C 
I never would have guessed how this all regressed 
  C               C      G                        Em 
How you loved me less, til the words came on that morning 
         Bm                        D 
Left my heart on a string in your doorway 
 
 Em                   D     C 
And the truth is that I'm a mess 
 Em                   D     C 
Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you
