Blown Wide Open

D  A rpt. 
 
So I'm all surrounded 
By the things I thought I'd put away 
And I'm all surrounded 
By the things I thought I'd put away 
An there s a pile in the closet 
That's where I threw some yesterday 
Maybe under the rug 
That's where I swept some the other day 
 
So the mess is drawing forces 
Outside I hear them say 
Just come out with your hands up 
So we can blow you away 
 
D A G 
And I walk out the door 
Get blown wide open 
By the things I'd put away 
And I wasn't even warned 
Just blown wide open 
Now the mess is where I lay 
 
 
D  A 
So I'm all surrounded 
By the things I thought I'd put away 
So I'm all surrounded 
By the things I thought I'd put away 
And if I'm a slob 
Well I never looked at it that way 
Irresponsible 
Well you're not the first to say 
 
But I told her I'm sorry 
I never wanted it this way 
Yeah, I still need her 
But the mess won't go away 
 
 
D  A  G 
 
And I walk out the door 
Get blown wide open 
By the things I'd put away 
And I'm out on the porch 
Just blown wide open 
Now the mess is where I lay 
 
D  A  over interlude solo 
 
D  A  G 
Yeah, blown wide open   x3 
The gun's still smokin' 
Blood keeps flowin' 
Blown wide open 
Why's she going 
         D 
All surrounded
