       Fm
I'm a cold heartbreaker,
fit to burn and I'll rip your heart in two
           D#                   Fm
And I'll leave you lyin' on the bed

I'll be out the door before
you wake 'em, it's nothin' new to you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie, too

Chorus:
           G#   A#      Fm
   'Cause you could be mine
              G#   A#     Fm
   But you're way out of line
               G#
   With your bitch slap rappin'
             A#
   And your cocaine tongue
            Fm
   You get nothin' done
           G#  A#       Fm D# Fm
   I said you could be mine

Now, holidays come and then they go,
it's nothin' new today
Collect another memory

When I come home, late at night,
don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars I'm home again

Chorus

You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine
You've gone sketching too many times
Ooh, why don't you give it a rest?
Why must you find another reason to cry?

F#            F       F#        G# C# G#
You've gone sketchin' too many times
F#   F        F#        G# C# G#
Why don't ya give it a rest?
F# F F#       A# G# F#
Why must you find
F                  C#
Another reason to cry

              A#m
While you're breakin' down my back and
        C
I been rackin' out my brain
          C#
It don't matter how we make it
'Cause it always ends the same

You can push it for more mileage
But your flaps are wearin' thin
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
But this nightmare never ends

Don't forget to call my lawyers
With ridiculous demands
And you can take the pity so far
But it's more than I can stand

'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
Tell me how long has it been
'Cause 5 years is forever
And you haven't grown up yet


Chorus:
           G#   A#      Fm
   'Cause you could be mine
              G#   A#     Fm
   But you're way out of line
               G#
   With your bitch slap rappin'
             A#
   And your cocaine tongue
           Fm
   You get nothin' done
           G#  A#
   I said you could be
    G#  A#
   You should be
    G#  A#       Fm
   You could be mine

Aw, You could be mine
Aw, You could be mine
Aw, You could be mine
You could be mine, yeah
