Intro
The Ballad of Me and my Brain from The 1975's album
I like it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it

Chords from Joe Rees's cover on youtube
C majorC G+G
Well, I think I've gone mad!!
A minorAm FF
Isn't that so sad!!
C majorC G+G AM FF
"What a shame you've lost a brain that you never had"
C majorC G+G
"Oh, mum check the car it can't have gone far,
A minorAm FF
I must have left it on a train or lost it in a bar!!"
C majorC G+G
It's likely in a Sainsbury's
A minorAm FF
Flirting with the girls and waiting for me
C majorC G+G
I jumped on a bus, declared my name,
A minorAm FF
Asked if anybody had seen my brain
C majorC G+G
"Your brain was last seen going for a run
A minorAm FF C majorC
And would you sign an autograph for my daughter Laura?
G+G A minorAm
'Cos she adores you, but I think you're shit
FF
"I've gotta look for my brain for a bit!!"
C majorC G+G
I stepped outside, it hurt my eyes
A minorAm FF
"Well what do you expect when you've got no mind!?!?"
C majorC G+G
I searched all day it drove me insane
A minorAm FF
"Where would I be if I was my brain?"
[Instrumental]
C, G, Am, FF
[Outro]
C majorC G+G
The nice nurse told me said she felt my pain
A minorAm FF
But couldn't find a single trace of my brain
C majorC G+G
"Oops I did it again" started playing
A minorAm FF G+G
