Lyrics and tab transcribed by myself by ear
Basically the song is C Dm F C played with a ska offbeat rhythm. I like to play it as bar chords as follows:
C - 8 10 10 9 8 8
Dm - 10 12 12 10 10 10
F - 8 10 10 10 8
It's only missing the solo bit but other than that I think it's all pretty much correct, but I'm open to
corrections if anyone sees anything wrong with it. If anyone works out the solo feel free to add it, I will
when I've worked it out.
Enjoy!
The Skints - Out My Mind
[Intro]
C Dm F C x4
[Verse]
C Dm
I'm bummed out, alone at my yard and a half of a bottle of rum down,
F C
Frustrated to face that the case of which that it goes up it is only to come down,
C Dm
The sun’s out, well it might be I don’t know,
F C
Been awake for three days, same again tomorrow,
C Dm
Cos I let my girl go, and it’s all very boring,
F C
Man I call up my friends, they got work in the morning,
C Dm
Cos it aint gonna work unless you put your all in,
F C C
It aint gonna work unless you quit your fooling around,
Dm F
But I'm married to the music, no fooling around,
C C
Cop a couple of drinks, get the tube into town,
Dm F
I’m texting my friends just to see who’s about,
C
But it’s four AM and it seems that I am
[Chorus]
C Dm F C
Out my mind, but you’re not out of mine,
C
I better go out tonight,
Dm F
I call up my friends to see what they’re suggesting,
C
Just what you’re suggesting,
C Dm F C
I'm out my mind, but you’re not out of mine,
C
I better go out tonight,
Dm F
I call up my friends to see what they’re suggesting,
C
Just what you’re suggesting,
[Verse]
C
See now these songs ain't written sober,
Dm
That ain't cos I'm getting older,
F
See we broke up in September,
C
And it’s starting to get colder,
C Dm
And I'm struggling to remember bout the times I used to hold her,
F C C
When the things got rough told myself I’d be better off alone,
Dm F
It’d be better if the weather didn't chill me to the bone,
C C
“Together forever” ‘s the words she used to tell me on the phone,
Dm
Whatever for better or worse,
F
I would take as a blessing, it isn’t my curse,
C
When it comes to her, my insides hurt,
And oh my good lord I’m
[Chorus]
C Dm F C
Out my mind, but you’re not out of mine,
C
I better go out tonight,
Dm F
I call up my friends to see what they’re suggesting,
C
Just what you’re suggesting,
C Dm F C
I'm out my mind, but you’re not out of mine,
C
I better go out tonight,
Dm F
I call up my friends to see what they’re suggesting,
C
Just what you’re suggesting,

And it’s so long,

And I’m so gone, man,
F C
And it’s so long,

And I’m so gone, man,

And it’s so long,
