E             B
When you were mine
A                    B
I gave you all of my money
E          B
Time after time
A           B
You done me wrong

You let all my friends come over and meet
E               B
And you were so strange
A                  B                     E
You didn’t have the decency to change the sheets
 
E                      B
Oh girl, when you were mine
A                 B           E
I used to let you wear all my clothes
E           B
You were so fine (so fine)
A               B                       E
Maybe that’s the reason that it hurts me so
 
CHORUS
  E       B
I know (I know)

B                     G#
‘Cause I love u, baby, that’s no lie

When you were mine
 
E-B-A-B

Sleeping in between the two of us
