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
Forget my brain, remember my name!!
