Intro: G  G  Em  D

Verse:
         G  
Well the witches stare with their limbs akimbo
G       
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   
into a tabernacle on the lawn
      Em
but I don't follow

Chorus:
              G           G           Em        D
Because she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G       Em      D7
yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

Verse:
G 
Midnight moved across the people's park
    G   
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             Em
and I don't have to fumble in the dark for my keys

Chorus:
                G           G           Em        D
I believe she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G       Em      D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

Verse:
    G         
The pupils gather in the yard
G         
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   
and I looked at all the people gathered
    Em
but they were all in a trance

Chorus:
          G           G           Em        D
And she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G       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               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       
and because they spoke of something else
      Em
when everybody else didn't

Verse:
    G
the music fills the space between
     G   
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   
but it all becomes so clear to me
    Em
and makes me understand

Outro:
          G           G           Em        D
That she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G       Em      D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
          G           G           Em        D
Yeah she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       G       Em      D7
Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm
          G           G           Em        D
Yeah she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
           G       
Yeah she's mine
