I got some mud on my face9]
My voice is shot, I'm going grey
These muscles all acheadd9]
Don't cry for me, I'm the life of the party
I'm smiling most of the time
I may be gritting my teeth, can't get back where we started
These days I'm doing just fine
Chorus
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Won't pound my chest or criticize
I must confess, I've lived, I've died
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Verse 2
I knew every buried body paid for each headstone
I may have led the prayers in public, but I cried alone
Found God through sin but this ain't my confession
I'll wait on judgement day
It's lose or win, got no need for protection
Stand up or out of my way
Chorus
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Won't pound my chest or criticize
I must confess, I've lived, I've died
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Bridge
The howling doomsday dogs are snapping at your feet
'Round here the sky is cracked, but won't admit defeat
Down here there they got your back and stood at your side
This treasure chest of rags still keeps this dream alive
Chorus
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Em Cadd9 -
Won't pound my chest or criticize
I must confess, I've lived, I've died
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
