verse 1
Am Dm
Someone's sitting on the sidewalk, As the winter sun goes down
G Am
Someone's drinking cold champagne, In another part of town

And the only thing he thinks about, As he sips his glass of wine
G Am
"It sure feels good sitting here tonight, Now that I've got mine"
[Refrão]
Am F
I've got mine, I've got mine
Dm Am
This isn't such a bitter world, Cause I've got mine
verse 2
Am Dm
Someone's wandering the streets tonight, No way to warm his hands
G Am
Someone's turning up their fireplace, Making travel plans
Am Dm
His mind is on some sandy beach, Where the sun is gonna shine
G Am
He thinks, "I don't have to hang around, Now that I've got mine"

You see them in their limousines, You see the way they stare
Dm E G
But they don't see us looking back, Because they don't really care
[Refrão]

They say, "I've got mine, I've got mine

The world is as it's meant to be, Cause I've got mine"

verse 3
Am Dm
So I make a small donation, What more can I do?
G Am
You know I didn't make this world, I'm in it just like you
Am Dm
I've worked all my life on this house of cards, To keep it all in line
G Am
I can't take care of everyone, Now that I've got mine
Am Dm
There's another kind of poverty, That only rich men know
G Am
A moral malnutrition, That starves their very souls
Am Dm
And they can't be saved by money, They're all running out of time
G Am
And all the while they're thinking, "It's okay, cause I've got mine"
[Refrão]

I've got mine, I've got mine
Dm Am

I've got mine, I've got mine
