A Troubled Mind Ukulele chords by Noah Kahan

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

I use a D DU UDU or a D D - UDU pattern for strumming with no capo in standard ukulele tuning. I put more
emphasis on some of the down strums and would encourage you to listen to the song to decide where you
would want them :)

A chord denoted by an asterisk (*) means strum once.

Intro:

C


Verse 1:

C               Am
I told you, love, if you could see it through my eyes
Em
You'd understand my fear of everything in sight
     F                  C
I know I'd quickly sell my heart for some advice
C
On how to ease a troubled mind
              Am
My brain's a dog asleep that I cannot let lie
Em
Cloudy head, though I can't find a single silver lining
F                  C
Guess there is no hope for me in sight
C
To ease this troubled mind

MUTE CHORDS

Chorus:

F
I worry for the sun, yes, I worry for the snow
 Am
I worry I'll die young while I worry I'll grow old
   G               C
Oh, I worry for the time I spent worrying alone
      Am
It makes me sad
     D
It takes me back
    F
I break in half
   Am  F    C
Ah-ooh, I break in half

Verse 2:

C            Am
I took a bus out to the city where you live
Em                         Am
Eavesdropped on strangers' conversations with their kids
        F               C
In hopes that maybe they'd say something relevant
  G        Am   G
To ease my worried head
C                 Am
Well, every mile that passed just amplified my fear
Em
I started counting all the times I saw you last year
   F               C
And suddenly it all became so clear
G          Am     Em
It was sadly making sense
