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
                      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 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.
       C/G
I'll be young.
        Em
I'll be bold.
        Am
I'll be wild.
        F
I'll be free.

Chorus 3:
                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.
                     C/G Em    F             C/G
Once you were mine, but you're not anymore.
                     C/G Em    F              C/G
Once you were mine, but you're not anymore
