Tuning: Standard

This is a pretty rare song by one of my favourite artists. I think it's from
an early demo called "Left of Normal" and the only version of it that I've
ever heard is a crappy quality download, but it's still a wonderful tune.

Intro: Strum a G chord for a few bars.

Verse 1
  G                Am        C
  The night it was lazy the streets were all crowded
  G                    Am          C (etc...)
  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
  Am                C
  And I don't really care
  Am                G
  No I don't really mind
  Am                C
  No I don't really care
  Am                G
  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
