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

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

months ago, I met a girl with pretty brown eyes.
She looked at me and she said, [Bm] I want [A] you for mine.
It made me happier _ than I'd been _ 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 [D] time I try, the words, [A] they never seem to come out right.
And I'm just trying, I'm just trying not to lose my mind.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
But she makes me, yeah, she makes me lose my god damn mind.
