[Intro]
G  G/F#  Em  D

[Verse]
         G
Well the witches stare with their limbs akimbo
G/F#
silhouettes of statues up in the window
Em
call me to come here with a crooked crescendo
      D7
but I don't

[Pre-Chorus]
C                        D
Devotees dance among the fancy minds on the promenade
G                 G/F#
into a tabernacle on the lawn
      Em
but I don't follow

[Chorus]
              G           G/F#        Em        D
Because she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G/F#    Em      D7
yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

[Verse]
G
Midnight moved across the people's park
    G/F#
and I fled the fire like a spinning spark
   Em
up on to a porch in the dark
        D7
she was waiting right there for me

[Pre-Chorus]
C
She knows that my hands are empty
   D
as I go past the mothers of envy
      G             G/F#          Em
and I don't have to fumble in the dark for my keys

[Chorus]
                G           G/F#        Em        D
I believe she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G/F#    Em      D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

[Verse]
    G
The pupils gather in the yard
G/F#
around the pulpit made of cards
    Em
and waited for their leader's words
        D7
but his words didn't make much sense



[Pre-Chorus]
    C
His mouth spat out a fist of daggers
        D
and his tongue swirled in a southern swagger
      G                         G/F#
and I looked at all the people gathered
    Em
but they were all in a trance

[Chorus]
          G           G/F#        Em        D
And she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G/F#    Em      D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

[Bridge]
 C
I was thrown before the court of canes
D
tossed my soul to the furnace flames
      G             G/F#            Em
where all my heroes had been slain, exiled, or put in prison
C
Because they rose above the mess
D
and because their power posed a threat
    G                           G/F#
and because they spoke of something else
      Em
when everybody else didn't

[Verse]
    G
the music fills the space between
     G/F#
the deities and the prophecies
       Em
of our bodies pressed endlessly
 D7
silent in the sand

[Pre-Chorus]
C
she looks at me so fearlessly
     D
and I take it all too seriously
      G               G/F#
but it all becomes so clear to me
    Em
and makes me understand

[Chorus & Outro]
          G           G/F#        Em        D
That she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G/F#    Em      D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
          G           G/F#        Em        D
Yeah she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G/F#    Em      D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
          G           G/F#        Em        D
Yeah she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G
Yeah she's mine
