[Intro] G Am F G Am F G Am F G Am F Em C Em Am [Verse]
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

 C               Am          F           G
With everyone around telling us what to do

                 Am             F        C
With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"

 C                Am            F       G
With fire in your eyes, may it never go out

                       Am             F         C
The sweetness of your tears makes it feel like night

 C          Am            F                G
I see no escape from the roles we always play

                     Am            F       G
What do we have to prove on this judgment day?
[Chorus]
 G              Am           F
You're mine now, but you're not my sister

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 child

G             Am           F
You're mine now, but you're not my slave
[Bridge]
Em       C                 Em          Am             Em
You're missing the whole point; you're not my little pet

 Em      C             Em          Am             Dm   G
Don't throw away your life; the game's not over yet

   C               Em          Am            Em
I do not own your soul; don't want you in a cage

  C               Em       Am              G
I only want your heart to find a special place
[Instrumental] G G Am F G Am F G Am F G Am F [Bridge]
Em       C                 Em          Am             Em
You're missing the whole point; you're not my little pet

 Em      C             Em          Am
Don't throw away your life; the game's not over
[Chorus]
         C       F
You're mine    , but you're not my sister

         Am      F
You're mine    , but you're not my slave

         C       F
You're mine    , but you're not my child

         Am      F           G
You're mine    , but you're not my slave

         Am      F           G
You're mine    , but you're not my slave
[Verse]
G                 Am        F          G
With sand in my heart and clouds in my head

                  Am             F        C
I thought about us both and the life we led

 C              Am        F                G
From pages in a book and pictures on a screen

                         Am                F        C
We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream

 C                  Am              F              G
One second, you are cast just like stones at my feet

                Am                  F          C
But I am not a king; please, don't worship me

 C               Am          F           G
With everyone around telling us what to do

                Am             F         Em
With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"
[Bridge]
Em       C                 Em          Am             Em
You're missing the whole point; you're not my little pet

 Em      C             Em          Am             Dm   G
Don't throw away your life; the game's not over yet

   C               Em          Am            Em
I do not own your soul; don't want you in a cage

  C               Em       Am              G
I only want your heart to find a special place

You're mine    , but you're not my slave
[Chorus]
         C                     F
 You're mine  You're mine now, but you're not my sister

         Am                    F
 You're mine  You're mine now, but you're not my slave

         C                     F
 You're mine  You're mine now, but you're not my child

         Am                    F
 You're mine  You're mine now, but you're not my slave
[Outro]
          G                    Am         F
 You're mine  You're mine now, but you're not my sister

          G                    Am         F
 You're mine  You're mine    , but you're not my slave

          G                    Am         F
 You're mine  Ohhhh          , but you're not my child
