Mine Chords

[Verse 1]
G
Maybe I’ve been
 
Maybe I’ve been away a little too long
 
And baby I’ve
  Em
Baby I’ve seen beautiful things, they never start all that strong
                        Cadd9
Just the right kind of weak
 
And I hate that word, weak
 
It supposes you can't stand all alone
                   D
Well I can, I just know I’d like it a whole lot more to stand a little taller with you
 G
Baby, I’ve been doing some thinking and I think that you and I
       Em
Could turn into stars that light up the bypass
                                  Cadd9
'Cause you know I love the way your hands could go right round my waist
 
Love the lines on your face
 
Want to draw them with permanent marker
  D
Your heart that I’m after
 
Promise to try keep it safe
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                 Em      Cadd9      G
So if time runs out and you call over
                  Em       Cadd9      D
If it all goes south and you need colder
 
 
[Chorus]
G
I was never made to dance around a carousel
Em
And maybe I’m afraid, 'cause I can’t even like myself
 Cadd9
And I’m just wasting days, thinking 'bout the way your last name sounds
  D
Attached to mine
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
I heard you’ve been a little busy with her, spending all your latest hours just
  Em
Playing magnets and I’m not sad, just a little down, a little out and over 'cause
Cadd9
I thought your words meant something, each syllable subtle instructions
 D
To wait for you, but I guess they were just words that I read too much into
  G
And we’re all losers when it comes down it
 
We just choose the way we’re gonna lose best
  Em
And I accept that I’m just a thought track in your mind
 
When in mine you’re my biggest bet
  Cadd9
And my highest hope, and my greatest find, and my softest blow
                  D
And my right hand man, and my very worst plan, and my ticket home
 
 
[Chorus]
  G
I was never made to dance around a carousel
  Em
And maybe I’m afraid, 'cause I can’t even like myself
Cadd9
And I’m just wasting days, thinking 'bout the way your last name sounds
  D
Attached to mine
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
  G
I’m a sucker for a boy who I don’t really
Em
understand
 
And if you let me, I could love you with
                    Cadd9
every inch of who I am
 
And if I couldn’t, well, the opportunity
                D
 would still be grand
 
To try and make you mine
 
 
[Bridge]
 Cadd9
And I write novels about the crinkles when you smile
  D
Foolish faith in thinking "he just needs some time"
                     G
But I’ve given you months
 
And now I’m running out of time I've saved away for you
  Em
It's something I could do without
 
But I’m still counting in case you save it
Cadd9
too
                D
Do you save it too?
 
 
[Chorus]
 G
I was never made to dance around a carousel
  Em
And maybe I’m afraid, 'cause I can’t even love myself
  Cadd9
And I’m just wasting days, thinking 'bout the way your last name sounds
 D
Attached to mine
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
 G
I’m a sucker for a boy who I don’t really
Em
understand
 
And if you let me, I could love you with every inch of who I am
  Cadd9
And if I couldn’t, well, the opportunity would still be grand
    D
To try and make you mine
 
Finish On G
