Mind Contorted
Frankenstein Love (1992), FUN (1994)

 

I’ve been through some hard
But I’m feeling so much better
And I’m standing in your yard
I could be there forever
And I know if you saw me now
You would be much perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
Every time I think of you
The sun shines brightly on my soul
But there’s something missing
Part of you part of the whole
I cried a million tears
Fill an ocean with my sorrow
And if I had my way
I’d be up to see you tomorrow
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
Every time I think of you
I feel like writing a song
And if I could win your heart
I never thought it’d take so awful long
And I wish upon a star
Hope that we could get together
I’ll be standing in your yard
We could be there forever
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you

 

==================================

Mind Contorted (Fun 1994) Thanks to Gerry Nobody  corrections by Tim L


intro: you have to hear the strumming pattern on the cd. its a G chord plain & simple,
but ddj songs are never really simple...

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.
