The Ballad Of Me And My Brain Acoustic tab by The 1975

The Ballad of Me and my Brain from The 1975's album
I like it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it

Lyrics from the vinyl cover.
Chords from Joe Rees's cover on youtube

   C         G
Well, I think I've gone mad!!
Am         F
 Isn't that so sad!!
     C          G           AM    F
"What a shame you've lost a brain that you never had"

   C             G
"Oh, mum check the car it can't have gone far,
       Am          F
I must have left it on a train or lost it in a bar!!"
C         G
 It's likely in a Sainsbury's
Am              F
Flirting with the girls and waiting for me

  C        G
I jumped on a bus, declared my name,
 Am          F
Asked if anybody had seen my brain
   C          G
"Your brain was last seen going for a run
   Am        F             C
And would you sign an autograph for my daughter Laura?
      G               Am
'Cos she adores you, but I think you're shit
             F
"I've gotta look for my brain for a bit!!"

  C         G
I stepped outside, it hurt my eyes
    Am               F
"Well what do you expect when you've got no mind!?!?"
   C         G
I searched all day it drove me insane
 Am         F
"Where would I be if I was my brain?"


[Instrumental]

C, G, Am, F


[Outro]

  C              G
The nice nurse told me said she felt my pain
   Am           F
But couldn't find a single trace of my brain
  C           G
"Oops I did it again" started playing
 Am        F        G
