Intro

Strum a G chord for a few bars.

Verse 1

  The night it was lazy the streets were all crowded

  I walked through the door at the top of the stairs

She looked like a girl from a renaissance painting

With clouds in her eyes and leaves in her hair

I said without warning you know I’ve been waiting

She said I don't even know you so I doubt that that's true

And I laughed at the wall and she stared at the ceiling

You know I'm not so lonely and now neither are you

Chorus

  And I don't really care

  No I don't really mind

  No I don't really care

  As long as you're mine

Verse 2

She made me talk slowly and walked out of rhythm

I went down the hallway and out through the gate

And she followed me strangely into the moonlight

And she spoke words of anger as if I were late

I slipped past her guards and into her chamber

I said I'm all out of roses but my thorns aren't to fear

And she moved like the ocean away from my island

She said you know I'm not so lonely so how come you’re still here?

Chorus

And I don't really care

No I don't really mind

I said I don't really care

As long as you're mine

Verse 3

She mocked my good nature and pulled on my coattails

She lifted me up and dropped me like a stone

She said you know love is just like riding a bicycle

And riding a bicycle is just another way to get thrown

I turned to her laughter and let her words linger

I slipped through her weak spot and watched as a cheer

Turned from a victory into a massacre

I said if you’re not so lonely then how come, how come you’re still here?

Chorus

Said I don't really care

No I don't really mind

No I don't really care

As long as you're mine

Verse 4

The morning was lazy the streets were all empty

I looked out the window and winked at the sky

And she talked to me slowly even though she was sleeping

So I picked out the good things and let the rest die

She said without warning you know I was waiting

And I said that I told her that sometimes its true

And I laughed at the window and she threw her pillow

You know I'm not so lonely and now neither are you

Chorus

And I don't really care

No I don't really mind

No I don't really care

As long as you're mine

No I don't really care

No I don’t really mind

No I don't really care

As long as you're mine
