[Verse 1]
C        Fadd9            C          Fadd9
 I don't know why you're mean to me

When I call on the telephone

    C           Fadd9      C          Fadd9
And I don't know what you mean to me

[Verse 2]
C            Fadd9    C         Fadd9
The fool might be my middle name

C           F      F/E    Dm   G
But I'd be foolish not to say

C                             Fadd9
I'm going to make whatever it takes,

              C                             Fadd9
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love,

             C               F     F/E       Dm  G
Make it rhyme, take you there, and make you mine
[Chorus]
       C   G  F  C
These words

   You will be mine

     C       Dm
You will be mine

         G
all the time, oh
[Bridge]
Am             G
I tripped and fell

Am     G
Did I fall?

Am               F  F/E
What I want to feel,

Dm                 G
I want to feel it now
N.C. [Verse 3]
C             Fadd9         C              Fadd9
You know with love comes strange currencies

C    F      F/E  Dm   G
But here is my appeal

C            Fadd9
    I need a chance, a second chance,

          C                                Fadd9
a third chance, a fourth chance, a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath

         C               F          F/E           Dm    G
Just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real
[Chorus]
       C   G  F  C
These words

F               G
   You will be mine

       C   G  F
These words

     C       Dm
You will be mine

         G
all the time, oh

       C   G  F  C
These words

F               G
   You will be mine

      C     G      F
These words, they haunt me,

 C             Dm
hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray, say,

           G
love's confined, oh
