 SGtrung out in Ypsilanti
 I Clost about a year aGgo
 The Cwind it was leaning
 on a Gfreight train screaming
 in the Dtwilight through the valley beGlow
 GYou were moving slow
 CLying on the bedroom fGloor
 Looked Cin your eyes and tethered
 above our Gheads out hands together
 But your Deyes were somewhere else out the Gdoor
 EmOutside the world was Dtender as a sponge
 We Cwatched the glaciers melt and the Emstock-market Dplunge
 I don't Gcare if it's Dtrue, my mind is Cwasted on youG  
 GWhat's the worst that I can do
 CCan't hurt myself if I Gcan't hurt you
 CAm I better or Ggetting sick
 I'll Drun from myself to get away with it
 GI saw some people standing over a hill
 CLong black veils Ghammering down the nails
 Wanna Csee somebody hurt you, not the wGay I do
 But Dnothing seems to change the way I feel about you
 I see some some Emstray dogs playing by the Dfuneral pier
 CLeaves of ash are falling on my Emwindow by the Dfire
 And I Gcan't see throDugh, my mind is Cwasted on youG  
 EmPedal steel Dringing my head
 Cwondering if you're sleeping in Emsomebody's Dbed
 I don't Gcare if it's Dtrue, my mind is Cwasted on youG  
 EmBeen living in my Drear-view mirror
 CIt's coming down and I'm Emtrying to see Dclear
 I Gcan't see throDugh, my mind is Cwasted on youG

STANDARD TUNING

CAPO ON 1

G C G C

G D G

Strung out in Ypsilanti

C G

I lost about a year ago

The wind it was leaning

on a freight train screaming

D G

in the twilight through the valley below

You were moving slow

C G

Lying on the bedroom floor

Looked in your eyes and tethered

above our heads out hands together

D G

But your eyes were somewhere else out the door

Em D

Outside the world was tender as a sponge

C Em D

We watched the glaciers melt and the stock-market plunge

G D C G

I don't care if it's true, my mind is wasted on you

What's the worst that I can do

C G

Can't hurt myself if I can't hurt you

C G

Am I better or getting sick

I'll run from myself to get away with it

I saw some people standing over a hill

C G

Long black veils hammering down the nails

C G

Wanna see somebody hurt you, not the way I do

But nothing seems to change the way I feel about you

Em D

I see some some stray dogs playing by the funeral pier

C Em D

Leaves of ash are falling on my window by the fire

G D C G

And I can't see through, my mind is wasted on you

Em D

Pedal steel ringing my head

C Em D

wondering if you're sleeping in somebody's bed

G D C G

I don't care if it's true, my mind is wasted on you

Em D

Been living in my rear-view mirror

C Em D

It's coming down and I'm trying to see clear

G D C G

I can't see through, my mind is wasted on you
