A               E
Every time you get a drink
A                   E
And every time you go to sleep
A                   E
Are those dreams inside your head?
A                E
Is that sunlight on your bed?

Every time you're driving home
Way outside your safety zone
Wherever you will ever be
You're never getting rid of me

Chorus:
E
You own me
A                        E
There's nothing you can do
          A
You own me

You could've made a safer bet
But what you break is what you get
You wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake

Chorus:
You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me
You own me
Lucky you
You own me
There's nothing you can do

You clean yourself to meet
A man who isn't me
You're putting on a shirt
A shirt I'll never see
The letter's in your coat
And no one's in your head
'Cause you're too smart to remember
You're too smart

Lucky you
Lucky you
Lucky you
