[Intro]
Am  F  C  Em
Am  F  C  Em
Am  F  C  Em
Am  F  C  Em

[Verse 1]
Am  F           C
Why must I feel numb,
 Em             Am
 done what I've done,
     F        C     Em
I've taken my cues, what
                 Am
 I'm supposed to do,
    F           C
Now heave the issue,
     Em          Am
the narrative's doomed,
     F          C
When I hold the pen,
      Em         Am
 it's throttling you.
F  C  Em

[Interlude]
Am  F  C  Em

[Verse 2]
Am        F
You never liked
         C
me when drunk,
  Em         Am
I start to believe you
       F           C
 never liked me at all,
    Em    Am
And so I agree, and
 F              C
 I'll say "Fuck you",
         Em        Am
'Cause I know if I don't
        F        C
, I'll probably say,
          Em         Am
Something stupid and true.
  F   C    Emaddb9 Emmaj7

[Interlude]
Am  F   C  Emaddb9 Emmaj7

[Verse 3]
  Am
I stand just out of reach
         F
 of your fists,
    C
And take myself away
  Emaddb9      Emmaj7
 again, pretty slim,
    Am
And dance around the
             F
 subject, a figure of eight,
  C
Describe all the parts
       Emaddb9    Emmaj7
of me I'm yet to break,
Am
Count all the parts of
        F
 me I'm yet to break,
  Am*
I Count all the parts
       Em
 of me I'm yet to break you.

[Verse 4]
Am           F           C
Kiss me like it was your job,
   Em         Am
So tender and carefully,
  F            C
 teeth before tongue,
               Em
 (I wanna be yours),
Am         F
Not in the way that
     C         Em
the romantics do,
             Am
But with the grace of a
  F          C
workplace HR dispute.
  Em
 (I wanna be yours).

[Verse 5]
    Am      F
You know, I don't
           C
need much more,
    Em       Am
But wanna be mine,
  F        C   Em
 wanna be yours,
    Am      F
You know, I don't
           C
 need much more,
  Em       Am
I wanna be mine,
  F        C   Em
 wanna be yours.

[Interlude]
Am  F  C  Em
Am  F  C  Em
Am  F  C  Em
Am  F  C  Em

[Outro]
Am  F            C
I   take you for granted,
  Em          Am
Because the alternative's
 F          C
far more alarming.

How to play Mine / Yours: key, chords and progression

These are Mine – Yours chords by Wilbur Soot on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Mine / Yours by Wilbur Soot keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 6 chords: Am, F, C, Em, Emaddb9 and Emmaj7.

Most of the song cycles through Em – Am – F – C (iii – vi – IV – I in C major). In solfa, that is mi – lah – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F and Emmaj7 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
