[Intro]
G Am D
[Verse 1]
G Am
The original mixed-up kid, sleeps with the ladies all night
D G
Home in the morning light to nothin'
G Am
Climbs in to an empty bed, pillows around his head
D G
Hide the tears he sheds for no one
[Bridge]
C D G D/F# Em
And Byron said happiness is born a twin
C D G D/F# Em
In those who share, for they will always win
C D
But what about the man who tries so hard
G D/F# Em A D
But his heart is locked within
[Verse 2]
G Am
The original mixed-up kid, must have been at the end of the line
D G
When they gave out the forms to sign for someone
[Bridge]
C D G D/F# Em
And he can't make up his mind where he wants to go
C D G D/F# Em
Ain't there a heaven ain't there a hell well he just don't know
C D
For in a crowded street he can see the sleet
G D/F# Em Am D
When the other men just see the snow
[Verse 3]
G Am
The original mixed-up kid be on your conscience bound
D G
For you turned him upside down for nothin'
[Outro]
E G
Whoa-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh
