I Lost My Mind chords by Titus Andronicus

Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

N.C.
I don't mind when I lose my mind
N.C.
Yeah, I lost my mind, seven eight or nine times
N.C.
And you wouldn't mind if you lost your mind
N.C.
Having lost your mind already eight or nine times


[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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


[Verse 4]

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


[Verse 5]

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