[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]
AI don't mind, no it Dfeels just Afine
No it Dfeels just Afine when I lose my Emind
And it Alooks so nice when it's Dflying right Aby
Now DI don't Amind when I Elose my Dmind
DMy whole Alife I've been Elosing my Dmind
[Verse 2]
It was A1989 when I Dlost my Amind
For the Dvery first Atime I went down in the Emine
Going Adown in the mine I didn't Dknow what I'd Afind
But whatDever I'd Afind, say that it was Emine
And I Abrought a little bird, it Dwas short Alived
And I Dlost my Amind when the little bird Edied
Because as AI stopped to cry for the Dlittle bird's Alife
For the Dmoment my Amind was out of my Esight
And I Aturned back around to a Dterrible surAprise
I had Dlost my Amind for the Every first Dtime
I Dlost my Amind for the Every first Dtime
[Verse 3]
Since AI was a Achild, they tried to let me Aslide
Then I lost it Atwice, they said it was a Ecrime
And my F#mhands were tied, I was Dread my Arights
It was a Dreal short Alist written in little, tiny Etype
And they F#mbuilt their perfect prison and locked Dme inAside
I cried, "Dthis is so Awrong," they said "It's alEright"
And then a F#mplate full of pills, I Dswallowed them Adry
I was disDplayed in a Acage, they claimed, in the name of sEcience
And they F#mprobed, prodded, reaDligned my sApine
'Til they Dsaid I could Awalk in a straight enough Eline
And then they F#mpushed me back out into the Dbright sunAlight
I didn't Dknow what it Ameant to be institutionaElized
Yeah I F#mbegged for readmission, it was DdenAied
DWhere do you Areside when you've Elost your Dmind?
DWhere you gonna Ahide when you Elose your Dmind?
[Verse 4]
So I Awent back to where I had last Dseen my Amind
He was Dsitting right Athere with his eyes real Ewide
And Alooking into mine said "I aDpoloAgize
But Dbeing conAfined is something I cannot aEbide
But if you'll Atake me back we'll give it Done more Atry"
Then we Dhugged, high Afived and stayed Eup all Dnight
In the F#mlight I realized they were Dall just Alies
He had Drobbed me Ablind and hadn't said goodEbye
I was F#mtoo desirous, Dso unAwise
DI got exAcited and I Elost my Dmind
DWhy, oh Awhy, must I Elose my Dmind?
[Verse 5]
Since Athen it's been a struggle just to Dstay aAlive
SuiDcide seems suAperior than trying to surEvive
That's why Awhen I'm in your sight, there'll be no Dsign of a sAmile
But the Dsound of a Asigh I am happy to proEvide
ALastly, never ask me, "can I Dknow your Amind?"
No, my Dmind is too Awild, it's the wandering Ekind
And I Anever know when it might be Dlikely to arArive
So DI don't Amind when I Elose my Dmind
No, DI don't Amind when I Elose my Dmind
No, DI don't Amind when I Elose my Dmind

F#m

[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 D A

I don't mind, no it feels just fine

D A E

No it feels just fine when I lose my mind

A D A

And it looks so nice when it's flying right by

D A E D

Now I don't mind when I lose my mind

D A E D

My whole life I've been losing my mind

[Verse 2]

A D A

It was 1989 when I lost my mind

D A E

For the very first time I went down in the mine

A D A

Going down in the mine I didn't know what I'd find

D A E

But whatever I'd find, say that it was mine

A D A

And I brought a little bird, it was short lived

D A E

And I lost my mind when the little bird died

A D A

Because as I stopped to cry for the little bird's life

D A E

For the moment my mind was out of my sight

A D A

And I turned back around to a terrible surprise

D A E D

I had lost my mind for the very first time

D A E D

I lost my mind for the very first time

[Verse 3]

A A A

Since I was a child, they tried to let me slide

A E

Then I lost it twice, they said it was a crime

F#m D A

And my hands were tied, I was read my rights

D A E

It was a real short list written in little, tiny type

F#m D A

And they built their perfect prison and locked me inside

D A E

I cried, "this is so wrong," they said "It's alright"

F#m D A

And then a plate full of pills, I swallowed them dry

D A E

I was displayed in a cage, they claimed, in the name of science

F#m D A

And they probed, prodded, realigned my spine

D A E

'Til they said I could walk in a straight enough line

F#m D A

And then they pushed me back out into the bright sunlight

D A E

I didn't know what it meant to be institutionalized

F#m D A

Yeah I begged for readmission, it was denied

D A E D

Where do you reside when you've lost your mind?

D A E D

Where you gonna hide when you lose your mind?

[Verse 4]

A D A

So I went back to where I had last seen my mind

D A E

He was sitting right there with his eyes real wide

A D A

And looking into mine said "I apologize

D A E

But being confined is something I cannot abide

A D A

But if you'll take me back we'll give it one more try"

D A E D

Then we hugged, high fived and stayed up all night

F#m D A

In the light I realized they were all just lies

D A E

He had robbed me blind and hadn't said goodbye

F#m D A

I was too desirous, so unwise

D A E D

I got excited and I lost my mind

D A E D

Why, oh why, must I lose my mind?

[Verse 5]

A D A

Since then it's been a struggle just to stay alive

D A E

Suicide seems superior than trying to survive

A D A

That's why when I'm in your sight, there'll be no sign of a smile

D A E

But the sound of a sigh I am happy to provide

A D A

Lastly, never ask me, "can I know your mind?"

D A E

No, my mind is too wild, it's the wandering kind

A D A

And I never know when it might be likely to arrive

D A E D

So I don't mind when I lose my mind

D A E D

No, I don't mind when I lose my mind

D A E D

No, I don't mind when I lose my mind
