I can’t think (Dm)straight,

and I need a shave.

This morn I go to work and I look tired.

The boss man says, “Son, you’re gon na get (C)fired.

I’m los in’ This mind, ain’t your (Dm)style.”

And be hind my (F)cof fee cup,

but I just (Am)smile.

What a beau ti ful mess, what a beau ti ful mess I’m in.

Spend in’ all my time with you,

there’s noth in’ else I’d rath er do.

What a sweet ad dic tion that I’m caught up in.

’Cause I can’t get e nough, can’t stop the hun ger for your love.

What a beau ti ful,

what a beau ti ful mess I’m in

This morn in’ put to salt in my fee.
