Great song with some strange chords. I'm not sure about the bridge,
although it sounds at least close. But there are of course different
options. Any suggestions for voicings and names of chords are highly
welcome!

CHORDS
I couldn't really decide between these options. Choose what you like
better . . . or maybe come up with another solution. Please give feedback
if you think you came closer ? thanks!
Asus4 x-0-0-2-0-0 or:
F#m7b5 3-x-2-2-1-x
Don't know what to call the second chord. Sounds kind of Spanish/Flamenco
to me . . . Any ideas?
F# x-x-x-3-2-2

I was goin' round the world
I was lookin' for somewhere
I was searchin' for someone
Who was gonna take me there
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
I was thinkin' of the past
I was tryin' to rack my brain
I I was looking at the future, looking at the future
I was tryin' to play the game
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
Sometimes you get lost
Sometimes you get found
F#m7b5 B6
In a state of mind
Sometimes you're too high
Sometimes you're too down
F#m7b5 B6
It's just a state of mind
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
Sometimes you get lost
Sometimes you get found
F#m7b5 B6
In a state of mind
Sometimes you're too high
Sometimes you're too down
F#m7b5 B6
It's just a state of mind
You think you know it all
Then you think that you know nothing
Can't dance, can't crawl
Maybe you better forget it
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
