Tonight You Are Mine
View chords used in this chart
Em
In a sense I'm such a mess
C
Watching you
Em
The air is cold, so hard to breathe
C
Still your breath is all I see
Em
Reflect the sun
C
Light the one that I could never be
Em
I thought I heard you call my name
Thought that I could take the blame
C
If you could have it all, why do you want me?
Em D C
So let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
Em D
The daylight holds you close
C
But tonight you are mine
Mine, mine
Em
In a sense I'm nothing less
C
Than who you claim to be
But you're dressed in pixels clear as crystals
Em
On my mind
Just one more time
C
If you could have it all, why do you want me?
Em D C
So let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
Em D
The daylight holds you close
C
But tonight you are mine
Mine, mine
C
Don't be so naive
D
You know that you are all I see
Em
Oh, and I cannot believe
The monopoly that bleeds
D
From your pores to the shores of the sea
Em D C
So let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
Em D
The daylight holds you close
C
But tonight you are mine
Mine
Em D C
So let me slip inside your ultraviolet disguise
Em D
The daylight holds you close
C
But tonight you are mine
Mine
