I Lost My Mind

A                   D          A
I don't mind, no it feels just fine
      D          A                
No it feels just fine when I lose 
   E
my mind
       A                      
And it looks so nice when it's 
 D            A
flying right by
    D       A           E       D
Now I don't mind when I lose my mind
D        A              E        
My whole life I've been losing my 
 D
mind


[Verse 2]

       A           D       A
It was 1989 when I lost my mind
        D          A              
For the very first time I went 
         E
down in the mine
      A                         D 
Going down in the mine I didn't 
            A
know what I'd find
        D        A                
But whatever I'd find, say that it
     E
 was mine
      A                         D 
And I brought a little bird, it 
        A
was short lived
      D       A                   
And I lost my mind when the little
      E
 bird died
           A                       
Because as I stopped to cry for the
 D             A
 little bird's life
        D         A               
For the moment my mind was out of 
   E
my sight
      A                      
And I turned back around to a 
 D           A
terrible surprise
      D       A            E 
I had lost my mind for the very 
         D
first time
  D       A            E          
I lost my mind for the very first 
D
time

Since I was a child, they tried to
        A
 let me slide
               A                   
Then I lost it twice, they said it 
      E
was a crime
       F#m                    D   
And my hands were tied, I was read
    A
 my rights
         D          A             
It was a real short list written 
               E
in little, tiny type
         F#m                       
And they built their perfect prison
            D    A
 and locked me inside
          D          A            
I cried, "this is so wrong," they 
             E
said "It's alright"
           F#m                    
And then a plate full of pills, I 
D              A
swallowed them dry
         D           A        
I was displayed in a cage, they 
                           E
claimed, in the name of science
         F#m                 D    
And they probed, prodded, 
      A
realigned my spine
          D            A       
'Til they said I could walk in a 
                  E
straight enough line
              F#m               
And then they pushed me back out 
          D         A
into the bright sunlight
         D            A           
I didn't know what it meant to be 
            E
institutionalized
       F#m                       
Yeah I begged for readmission, it 
     D  A
was denied
D            A                  
Where do you reside when you've 
E         D
lost your mind?
D               A             E 
Where you gonna hide when you 
        D
lose your mind?


[Verse 4]

     A                             
So I went back to where I had last 
D       A
seen my mind
       D             A            
He was sitting right there with 
            E
his eyes real wide
    A                        
And looking into mine said "I 
  D   A
apologize
    D        A                    
But being confined is something I 
        E
cannot abide
              A                 
But if you'll take me back we'll 
         D        A
give it one more try"
        D            A       
Then we hugged, high fived and 
         E      D
stayed up all night
       F#m                        
In the light I realized they were 
D        A
all just lies
       D         A                
He had robbed me blind and hadn't 
         E
said goodbye
      F#m           D    A
I was too desirous, so unwise
D       A           E       D
I got excited and I lost my mind
D       A           E       D
Why, oh why, must I lose my mind?


[Verse 5]

      A                            
Since then it's been a struggle 
     D     A
just to stay alive
   D            A                 
Suicide seems superior than trying
       E
 to survive
           A                       
That's why when I'm in your sight, 
               D          A
there'll be no sign of a smile
        D          A              
But the sound of a sigh I am happy
       E
 to provide
A                            D   
Lastly, never ask me, "can I know
      A
 your mind?"
       D           A              
No, my mind is too wild, it's the 
          E
wandering kind
      A                           
And I never know when it might be 
D           A
likely to arrive
   D       A           E       D
So I don't mind when I lose my mind
    D       A           E       D
No, I don't mind when I lose my mind
    D       A           E       D
No, I don't mind when I lose my mind
