R U Mine?
Arctic Monkeys
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I'm a puppet on a string Tracy island, time-traveling diamond Could a shaped heartaches Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning Years too late She's a silver lining lone ranger riding Through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself All I wanna hear her say is are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? I guess what I'm trying to say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape lost track of time and space She's a silver lining climbing on my desire And I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself All I wanna hear her say is are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case I'm mistaken I just wanna hear you say you got me baby Are you mine? She's a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me And I go crazy cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself All I wanna hear her say is are you mine? Well are you mine? (are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (are you mine tomorrow?) (Or just mine tonight?)
