View chords used in this chart
[Verso 1]
Em
You might as well put me on a shelf
In a shop
C
'Cause it seems like I'm everyoneâs toy
I wish I weren't
Am
Go on, I insist
Pick me up like a kid
D
And play for a while til you get bored of me
Em
Smoke me like a cigarette
Until I'm all gone
C
Maybe I'm better off being all alone
Am
'Cause everyone I've met up until now
D
Has always left me
[Refrão]
Em
Maybe I'm too much
C
Never the person people wanted
G
Or dreamed of ooooh
Am D
Closed up on myself
Em C
Isolation's not good for me
Am D
Isolation makes me over think things
Em
And it's true love really does make you blind
C
'Cause I can't see clearly now
Am
Have I lost my mind?
Have I lost my mind?
D
Have I lost my mind, mind
Am
Have I lost my mind?
[Verso 2]
Em
Pull my heart out of my chest
C
And break it
Am
'Cause it seems like it's what you do best
D
And later when I'm bored and all alone
G
I can try to fix it
Em
You dug a hole
C
Filled with anger and called it love
Am
You made my fall right into it
D
With your hands and a nice shove
Em C
It's so deep and I can't get out
Am D
And people tease me with ropes and ladders all the time
Em C
I'm stuck down here and it's your choice and not mine
Its your choice and not mine
[Refrão]
Em
Maybe I'm too much
C
Never the person people wanted
G
Or dreamed of ooooh
Am D
Closed up on myself
Em C
Isolation's not good for me
Am D
Isolation makes me over think things
Em
And it's true love really does make you blind
C
'Cause I can't see clearly now
Am
Have I lost my mind?
Have I lost my mind?
D
Have I lost my mind, mind
Am
Have I lost my mind?
[Ponte]
Em C
Please let me out of here
Am
I'm begging
D
I'm begging you dear
Em C
Never really asked for much baby
Am
Can you do this one thing for me
D
Set me free
Em C
'Cause I don't wanna be loving you
Am D
I don't wanna be loving you
Em C
Don't wanna be loving, loving
Am D
Don't wanna be loving you no more
G
No you no more
[Refrão]
Em
Maybe I'm too much
C
Never the person people wanted

Or dreamed of ooooh

Closed up on myself

Have I lost my mind, mind

Have I lost my mind?
