[Intro]
Em D
[Verse 1]
Em
It ain't ever just textin', it's sendin' a message
D
Bigger than Texas, you know what it says
Em D
When you send it back late, and your heart's in a lonestar state
Em
But what happens next is you get kinda reckless
D
And you start forgettin' the night that he left you
Em D
Down in Dallas, all alone, girl, put down that phone
[Chorus]
Em
Don't mess with exes
D
No matter how bad you want to
Em D
Don't second guess it when that song gives you deja vu
Bm A
Go on and dust off your boots, take a two step or two
G Em
With somebody new, just whatever you do
Em
Don't mess with exes
D
'Cause they'll make a mess outta you
[Verse 2]
Em
To heck with that necklace, still 'round your neck
D
It's like you ain't learned your lesson, the way that it's hangin'
Em D
But heartbeat broke, he's a thorn in your desert rose, hell no
[Chorus]
Em
Don't mess with exes
D
No matter how bad you want to
Em D
Don't second guess it when that song gives you deja vu
Bm A
Go on and dust off your boots, take a two step or two
G Em
With somebody new, just whatever you do
Em
Don't mess with exes
D
'Cause they'll make a mess outta you
[Bridge]
F#m Em
Don't mess with "want you back"
A D
Don't mess with "try again"
F#m Em A
The next time that you think that next time might be different
[Chorus]
Em
Don't mess with exes
D
No matter how bad you want to
Em D
Don't second guess it when that song gives you deja vu
Bm A
Go on and dust off your boots, take a two step or two
G Em
With somebody new, just whatever you do
Em
Don't mess with exes
D
'Cause they'll make a mess outta you
Em
They'll make a mess outta you
D
Yeah, they'll make a mess outta you
Em D
