[Intro]
C# D#m F#  x2

[Verse 1] Avril Lavigne
C#               D#m       F#
  Staring at the pavement alone
C#                   D#m
  Wishing that I was on
       F#
my way home to you
C#                 D#m
  All the shops in London
     F#
 are closed
            C#
And I don't know where
    D#m     F#
to go from here
           A#m
No I don't know where
    G#      F#
to go from here
But I know

[Chorus 1]
C#      D#m         F#
  I'm a mess I'm a mess
When we're not together
C#       D#m          F#
  Such a wreck such a wreck
I hope it's not forever
     C#    D#m  F#
Will I see you again?
          C#         D#m
I wish it was me and yo
           F#
 until the end
          C#      D#m
But I know  I'm a mess,
       F#
 I'm a mess
      C#      D#m        F#
I know  I'm a mess I'm a mess

[Verse 2]
C#                   D#m
  It hasn't been the same
           F#
since that night
C#                 D#m
  I wish I said "I love you"
      F#
just one more time


C#                  D#m
  I tried to figure out
       F#
how to make it right
            C#
But I don't know where
    D#m     F#
to go from here
           A#m
No I don't know where
    G#      F#
 to go from here
But I know
