Wrong State Of Mind Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Eb][Dm][Eb]
[Eb]
[Eb]
[Eb]
[Eb5]I was drea[C5]ming

[Verse 1]
that I was caught up in the middle of a parade
But I wasn't paying attention to
the statement being made
And when I looked up at a banner
and saw just what it said
Then I wished that I was
somewhere else instead
Because the message on the banner
was for white supremacy
And no matter how hard I tried it
didn't make any sense to me
So I studied the people around me
trying to think of what to say
But the only thing I could think

[Verse 2]
of was to laugh and walk away
[C5]
I was dreaming that I was talking
to a man about his faith
And I was far away from home in
some kind of exotical place
The situation was such that when
I looked at my surrounding
I got nervous and my heart
just started pounding
I realized that I was the only
man that was Caucasian
All the [A5]people around me looked
like oriental [Eb5]Asian[A5]
[C5]I was a legal alien in a difficult situation
But [A5]I could relate to the state I was in
when I thought about discrim[Eb]ination

[Verse 3]
Was I [Eb]in the wrong place at the wrong time
Or was I in the wrong state of [A5]mind
Wrong place,
wrong [A]time or [A5]wrong state of [Eb]mind[A5]
Wrong place, wrong time or
wrong [A]state [A5]of m[Eb]ind
Was I in the wrong place
at the wrong [A5]time
Wrong place,
wrong [A]time or wrong state [A5]of m[Eb]ind[A5]
Wrong place,
wrong time or wrong [A]state [A5]of m[Eb]ind

[Interlude 1]
[Eb5][C5]

[Verse 4]
I was dreaming that [C5]I was at home
and when I took a look around
It was as if the entire population
had suddenly gone underground
I was standing all by myself and
there was no one to be found
The only thing worse than a terrible
noise is not even hearing a sound
There wasn't a trace of a human face
as far as my eyes could see
I star[A5]ted to f[A]eel kind of lonely
and I [A5]wanted some company
[Eb5]I had to[C5] make do with myself and the
thought didn't appeal to me
'Cause the [A5]only thing worse than to many
people is feeling completely [Eb]lonely

[Verse 5]
Was I [Eb]in the wrong place at
the wrong time
Or was I in the wrong state of mind

[Verse 6]
Was I [Eb]in the wrong place
at the wrong time
Or was I in the wrong state [A5]of mind
Wrong place,
wrong time or wrong state of [Eb]mind[A5]
Wrong place, wrong [A]time or
wrong state [A5]of m[Eb]ind
Was I in the wrong place
at the wrong [A5]time
[A]Wrong place,
wrong time or wrong state [A5]of m[Eb]ind[A]
Wrong place,
wrong time or wrong state [A5]of m[Eb]ind

[Verse 7]
[Eb]
Anybody could be related
with a monkey in a tree
Or an [A5]ancient tribe from Africa but
that doesn't bother me
I've [Eb]probably got lots of relatives that
are Jews and nobody knows
[C5]Maybe [A5]that's the reason for the
size of my big and beautiful nose
My [Eb]family tree is a mystery that
comes from all over the place
So [A5]tell me the logical definition
of a perfect race
Some [Eb]people are dressed in a darker
tan and some have a lighter shade
And [A5]I can assure you nobody's sure
exactly where they were made
Was I in the wrong place at the wrong [A5]time
[A]Or [A5]was I in [A]the wrong
state [A5]of m[Eb]ind

[Verse 8]
[Eb][A5]
Was I in the wrong place at the wrong [A]time
Or was I in the wrong state [A5]of m[Eb]ind
Wrong place,
wrong time or wrong state of [A]mind
Wrong place, wrong time or
wrong state [A5]of m[Eb]ind
Was I in the wrong place
[A]at the wrong time
Wrong place, wrong time or
wrong state of [Eb]mind
Wrong place,
wrong time or wrong state of [C5]mind
