A Troubled Mind Ukulele chords by Noah Kahan

• 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.

On how to ease a troubled mind
                           Am

Cloudy head, though I can't find a single silver lining

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
