ONCE YOU WERE MINE
Capo 3
Intro: C/G Em F C/G
Verse 1:
C/G Am
Well I'm stranger than I used to be
C/G F
I lost my job and my wedding ring
C/G Am
I've still got the tattoo where it used to be
C/G F
and it reminds me of you constantly.
Verse 2:
C/G Em Am
I've been thinking a lot, been thinking about us
C/G F
I've been thinking how hard it’s been giving you up
C/G Em Am
I've been sleeping with strangers and filling my cup
C/G F
But nothing I do is ever enough.
Chorus 1:
C/G Em F C/G
Darling I'm tired of living with your ghost
C/G Em F C/G
and walking on wires and trying not to fall
Am Em
My heart is heavy, your voice so cold
F C/G
and I don't want to hear it
C/G Em F C/G
Once you were mine, but you're not anymore.
Verse 3:
C/G Am
And I'm stronger than I used to be
C/G F
At least that's what I've been trying to believe
C/G Em Am
I'll be done with this dying. I'll be done with this grief
C/G F
I'll get all myself back that you stole from me.
Chorus 2:
C/G Em F C/G
Darling I'm tired of living with your ghost

F C/G
and I don't want to hear it
C/G Em F C/G
Once you were mine, but you're not anymore
Verse 4:
C/G Em Am
One of these days I'll quit seeing your face
C/G F
in all these empty picture frames.
C/G Em Am F
You'll be out of my head. You'll be out of my dreams
C/G Em
I'll be young. I'll be bold. I'll be
Am F
wild. I'll be free.

I'll be young.
