D                     G           G A D
I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
D              G    G A D
I just don't know
D                        G             G A D
I'm hanging on to those good times, baby
D                    G   G A D
Just wanna let them roll

I'm gonna make it to the light and joy
I'll tell you why
I got a woman who can take me there
The apple of my eye

Chorus:
E7   A       G
Oh, whoa, I just don't know
E7  A
No no, no, no
G
I love her so

Don't let me see that mornin' paper
'Cause I don't need those dues
It's just the same old murder movie
But they call it the news

I'll tell you what would be some story
And what would set me free
Is if the same thing happened to everybody
That just happened to me

Chorus:
Oh, whoa, I just don't know
No no, no, no
No, whoa, I'll never let her go
No no, no

Bm                        D
Every time I hear somebody sneakin' up behind
         E
Whoa, I turn around
But I still hear that sound
     A                      G    A  Bm
And just when I'm about to lose my mind
Here comes my baby

D
Singing like a nightingale
Bm                            A#            F
Coming my way down along that devastation trail
               C
Well tell the Lord above
             G
She's got a brand of love
             D
That cannot fail

I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
And that's no lie
I'm hanging on to my special friend
The apple of my eye

The apple of my eye, my inspiration too
She's got a lead on my heart and my soul
And she knows just what to do

Chorus:
E7 A           G
Oh-oh, I just don't know, no, no, no, no
E7 A      G      E/G#
No-oh, I get so low
        A              A#
And my mind's about to go
                 Bm
But wait a minute
Here comes my baby

Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way
Down along that devastation trail
Well, let the fires burn
And let the floods return, we will prevail

Hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don't know
