Sell My Mind

Verses:  D C Am Em
Chorus:  Bm F#m

I sold my mind to a tune of rhymes looking for a way to fill
The space between the lines I drive and a new way to pay the bills
See I owe my soul to the Lord above yes I owe my life to god
But I send my money on down the line I send everything I’ve got

But if there was a way to pay the taxman and the grocer
Could I still repay the days and the life that I still owe ya
And if I went away and I never got to know ya
Could I kneel and pray for change or cry upon your shoulder
(instrumental)
So I sell my mind to the butterflies and the candy at the corner store
For a reason to ignore the lies and the reasons I am living for
And I tell myself I owe my soul to the liars I’ve been working for
They give me money and I trade my time cause I need just a little more

But if there was a way to pay the taxman and the grocer
Could I still repay the days and the life that I still owe ya
I know I don’t need to be so wrapped up in distraction
But how can I relieve my grief without senseless satisfaction, senseless satisfaction

Now I cast for answers with a fishing rod in a sea of scorn and hate
With nothing but the hand of God and hope and love for bait
I ask myself how can I stay and sit around and wait
When I know the time is drawing near to meet my endless fate

But if there was a way to pay the taxman and the grocer
Could I still repay the days and the life that I still owe ya
Could you smile on me and see me lost upon the ocean
Fishing for lost years with tears cause I never got to know ya

(instrumental)
But if there was a way to pay the taxman and the grocer
Could I still repay the days and the life that I still owe ya
(optional)
But if there was a way to pay the taxman and the grocer
Could I still repay the days and the life that I still owe ya
