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!!
