When you were mine
F G
I gave you all of my money
C G
Time after time
F G
You done me wrong
C G
It was just like a dream
F G C
You let all my friends come over and meet
C G
And you were so strange
F G C
You didnt have the decency to change the sheets
C G
Oh girl, when you were mine
F C
I used to let you wear all my clothes
C G
You were so fine (so fine)
F G F
Maybe thats the reason that it hurts me so

I know (I know)
Em F
That youre going with another guy
G
I dont care (dont care)
F
Cuz I love u, baby, thats no lie
G
I love you more than I did
C
When you were mine
When you were mine
You were kinda sorta my best friend
So I was blind (so blind)
I let you fool around
I never cared (didnt care)
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleeping inbetween the two of us
I know (I know)
That youre going with another guy
I dont care (dont care)
Cuz I love you, baby, thats no lie
I love you more than I did
When you were mine
When you were mine
U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever hes with you
I know (I know)
That youre going with another guy
I dont care (dont care)
Cuz I love you, baby, thats no lie
I love you more that I did
When you were mine
When you were mine, yeah, oh no
Love you, baby
Love you, baby
When you were mine
