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  
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
