_ _ Two years ago, I was sitting on a tiny [D] blue couch in the basement apartment of a [A] college town.
The tears rolled out as I started to [D] break down. _ _ _
_ [A] _ Cause I was lost and now scared.
I was [D] graduating school and for the first time in my life [A] I felt so unprepared with
no idea what direction I was heading to. _ _ _ _
_ _ And I was trying, I was trying not to lose my mind.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Yeah I was trying, I was trying not to lose my mind.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. _ _ _ _

_ _ One year ago, I was sitting on the edge of the bed at my sister's house in Edison.
I pulled the needle out as I started to [D] break down. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ Cause I was hurt and now scared.
I tried to make it on my own and [D] I found out that I was just so ill prepared and that was
how I learned.
_ That in order to be fixed, I had to be [E] broken first.
And I was trying, I was trying not to lose [A] my mind.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Yeah I was trying, I was trying to stop getting high.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. _ _ _ _

_ _ Four months ago, I met a girl with pretty brown eyes.
And she looked at me and she said, I want you for mine.
[E] It made me happier than I've been, [A] _ _ well in a long time.
_ And when I found her, I was scared.
Love never seems to come when I'm prepared.
And I want to write her a song.
_ _ _ But every time I try the words, they [E] never seem to come out right.
And I'm just trying, I'm just trying not to lose [A] my mind.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
[E] But she makes me, yeah she makes me lose my god damn mind.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
