When You Were Mine

VERSE 1 (C-F)
When You Were Mine, When You Were Mine
I was dirt
you couldn't see, what I believed
and for that your hurt

I was angry true, but not at you
but I took it out
when it's backed up, it's overflowin'
and I let you down

CHORUS (C-Em-F-G)
I just want to get back to when you were mine
can we get back to that time when you were mine

VERSE 2
When You Were Mine, When You Were Mine
I thought I could do anything
why when you cried, I persist in my lie
and over just nothing

when I'd come home late, I didn't know
you were giving up
and as the time passed, obvious at last
irony is I cleaned up

CHORUS
