My Mind Is For Sale

Jack Johnson


Tom: D

        D
Well, I heard the blinker’s on
              D
I heard we’re changing lanes
                    A      A
I heard he likes to race
             D                              D
I heard that six or seven words he likes to use
                  A      A
Are always in bad taste
                 D
And I heard that Monday’s just a word we say
      D
Every seven times around
            A
And then we pin the tail on Tuesday
            A
Watch those strings go up and down
    D
The elephant in the room begins to dance
D
The cameras zoom into
    A
His mouth begins to move
      A
Those hateful words he uses

[Chorus]
G                        D
   I don’t care for your paranoid
Am                  G
   Us against them walls
G                        D
   I don’t care for your careless
Am                                G
Me first gimme gimme appetite at all

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
    D                              D
And all the real estate in my mind is for sale
                   A      A
It’s all been subdivided
  D
Divided into reasons why
   D                                 A      A
My two opposing thoughts at once are fine
    D
The residue from the price tag
       D
On the tip of my tongue
                          A
The words don’t come they go

How many likes I gotta get
  A
Before I know the truth

And the truth is
D                               D
Season three will be a great reason
                      A
To forget all about reality’s

A slippery slope
A
Watch the TV scream and shout it

[Chorus]
G                        D
   I don’t care for your paranoid
Am                               G
Us against them fearful kind of walls
G                        D
   I don’t care for your careless
Am                                G
Me first gimme gimme appetite at all

[Verse 3]
      D
Now I heard the blinker’s on
              D
I heard we’re changing lanes
                     A
I heard we need more space
                          A
I heard that six or seven words are in bad taste
       D
It’s absurd to believe that we might
   D
Deserve anything
          A
As if its balanced in the end
        A
And the good guys always win

[Chorus]
G                        D
   I don’t care for your paranoid
Am                               G
Us against them fearful kind of walls
G                        D
   I don’t care for your careless
Am
Me first gimme gimme appetite
         Am
With the residue from the price tag
         Am
On those two opposing thoughts in my mind
Am                               G
Us against them fearful kind of walls
