Oingo Boingo - Not My Slave

      


G               Am              F               G 
With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind     
                    Am             F             C 
I thought about the ghosts that we left behind.  
With everyone around telling us what to do
with deafening sound whisper "I love you."
The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out.
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night.
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgment day

Am                 Em              Am              D      
You're missing the whole point-- you're not my little pet
Am                 Em              Am              D 
Don't throw away your life--  The games not over yet
Am                 Em              Am              D 
I do not own your soul--don't want you in a cage   
Am                 Em              Am              D 
I only want your heart to find a special place

G                     Am                   F            G 
You're mine now  But you're not my sister               
G                     Am                  F            C 
You're mine now  But you're not my slave               
G                     Am                  F             G 
You're mine      But you're not my child                
G                     Am                  F 
You're mine now  But you're not my slave  
G                     Am                  F 
You're mine now  But you're not my slave  


G               Am              F               G 
With sadness in my heart and clounds in my head 
                   Am           F             C 
I thought about us both and the lives we led. 
The pages on a book and pictures on a screen
We shape ourselves like clay from someone else's dream.
One second you are cast just like stones at my feet
But I am not a king please don't worship me.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper "I love you."

Am                 Em              Am              G      
You're missing the whole point-- you're not my little pet
Am                 Em              Am              D 
Don't throw away your life--  The games not over yet
Am                 Em              Am              G 
I do not own your soul--don't want you in a cage   
Am                 Em              Am              G 
I only want your heart to find a special place

You're mine now  But you're not my sister               
You're mine now  But you're not my slave
You're mine      But you're not my child
You're mine now  But you're not my slave
You're mine      But you're not my sister

You're mine now  But you're not my slave
