Topic: "Don't Mess This Up"
Just had this idea while I was surfing
Don't mess this upPhill Williams
Don't mess this [G] up
Don't be a fool [D]
You've got your [Em] life to [G] lead
And that's all up to you [D]
You have the [A] chance to make a big thing of your [D] life
And you cant [A] move yourself to into that golden [D] light [D7]
[Em] Why do you [G] want to keep your [D] face down in the dirt
And I [A] can tell you [G] that's not what your [D] meant for
[rep 1st verse]
Your going off the rails, your losing sight
Your giving people that love you a really bad time
Why do you want to keep your face down in the dirt
And I can tell you that's not what your here for
[middle 8]
[Em]Oh, [G] listen to what I [D] have to say
Your only [A] making your [G] troubles hide not [D] go away
[G] Drinking till your senseless [D] gets you in more strife
Put [A] down that glass [G] make it the last
And [D] get on with your life
Your train is leaving soon, pick up your bag
Don't miss this chance to leave this tired old town
And never look back
Why do you want to keep your face down in the dirt
Cos I can tell you that's not what your here for
rep 1st verse
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
I did laugh.
