verse 1
G Gm Cm
Feel like messing up, cutting my teeth
D Gm
On stolen candy, chewing on something sweet
G Gm Cm
I don't know what, what I came here for
D
Stumbling down these streets, trying to find your door
Gm Cm
Take the long way 'round, long walk across this town
D
If I was any good at painting, I'd paint it up and down
Bb Gm Cm
But I'm not, I'm just trying not to make a sound
D
Whistling to myself the Fourth Street Mess Around
Bb Gm
Mess around, mess around, mess around?
Cm
Mess around, mess around, mess around?
D Bb
Oh.......yeah

verse 2
G Gm Cm C
Wanna tell it like it is from heaven's point of view
G D Bb
But I would not have lived in vain if I could utter one thing true
Gm D# Cm
Or not build this life so artificially
D F Bb
Not go about it all so goddam superficially
Gm Cm
Lay myself down, quit running so ragged
D C D Bb
Blaze me a trail just a little less jagged
Gm Cm G
But for now I'm just stuck here in this town
D
Singing to myself the Fourth Street Mess Around
Bb Gm
Mess around, mess around, mess around?
Cm
Mess around, mess around, mess around?
D Bb
Oh.......yeah
