[Intro]
G G/F# Em D
[Verse]
G
Well the witches stare with their limbs akimbo
G/F#
silhouettes of statues up in the window
Em
call me to come here with a crooked crescendo
D7
but I don't
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
Devotees dance among the fancy minds on the promenade
G G/F#
into a tabernacle on the lawn
Em
but I don't follow
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em D
Because she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
G G/F# Em D7
yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
[Verse]
G
Midnight moved across the people's park
G/F#
and I fled the fire like a spinning spark
Em
up on to a porch in the dark
D7
she was waiting right there for me
[Pre-Chorus]
C
She knows that my hands are empty
D
as I go past the mothers of envy
G G/F# Em
and I don't have to fumble in the dark for my keys
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em D
I believe she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
G G/F# Em D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
[Verse]
G
The pupils gather in the yard
G/F#
around the pulpit made of cards
Em
and waited for their leader's words
D7
but his words didn't make much sense
[Pre-Chorus]
C
His mouth spat out a fist of daggers
D
and his tongue swirled in a southern swagger
G G/F#
and I looked at all the people gathered
Em
but they were all in a trance
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em D
And she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
G G/F# Em D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
[Bridge]
C
I was thrown before the court of canes
D
tossed my soul to the furnace flames
G G/F# Em
where all my heroes had been slain, exiled, or put in prison
C
Because they rose above the mess
D
and because their power posed a threat
G G/F#
and because they spoke of something else
Em
when everybody else didn't
[Verse]
G
the music fills the space between
G/F#
the deities and the prophecies
Em
of our bodies pressed endlessly
D7
silent in the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
C
she looks at me so fearlessly
D
and I take it all too seriously
G G/F#
but it all becomes so clear to me
Em
and makes me understand
[Chorus & Outro]
G G/F# Em D
That she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
G G/F# Em D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
G G/F# Em D
Yeah she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
G G/F# Em D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
G G/F# Em D
Yeah she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
G
Yeah she's mine
