Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Mind Contorted

G C G

I've been through some (hard?), but I'm feeling so much better

G C G

& I'm standing in your yard, I could be there forever

Em C Am D

& I know if you saw me now, you would be quite perplexed

Em C Am D

& I know if you saw me now, your mind would be contorted

G

But I love you.

C G

Everytime I think of you, the sun shines brightly on my soul

C D

But there's something missing, part of you-part of the whole.

(the rest of the song follows the pattern above)

I cried a million tears-filled an ocean with my sorrow

& if I had my way, I'd be up to see ya tomorrow

& I know if you saw me now, you would be much perplexed

& I know if you saw me now, your mind would be contorted.

But I love you.

Everytime I think of you, I feel like writing a song

& if I could win your heart, I never thought it'd take so awful long.

& I wished upon a star-hoped that we could get together

I'll be standing in your yard-we could be there forever.

& I know if you saw me now, you would be much perplexed

& I know if you saw me now, your mind would be contorted

& I know if you saw me now, you would be much perplexed

& I know if you saw me now, your mind would be contorted.

But I love you.
