[Verse 1]

Bb                    F
It was mine before I met you
        Dm              Bb
It was mine before I'd let you come closer and hold it and know it
     C
The way you once knew me
Bb                      F
It was mine before you knew me
        Dm              Bb
It was mine before you'd choose me and use me and lose me, refuse me
     C
The way you're now refusing to

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Bb                    F
It was mine before I'd see you
        Dm              Bb
It was mine before I'd believe you
                                                  C
When you said "I need you" it seems that you were just throwing me a bone
Bb                          F
And it was mine before you found me
        Dm                Bb
It was mine before you'd hound me and bound me, ground me then pound me
        C
Like a stray with no way home
C
Like a dirty stray dog with no way home

[Verse 3]

Bb                                      F
So come on girl, you gotta give me some credit
       Dm                   Bb
It was mine before you'd go get it and pet it and let it run
          C
When you threw the damn thing its ball
Bb                          F
And it was mine before you liked me
                   Dm              Bb
It was mine before you'd try me, lie to me and try to deny me
        C
That you ever loved me at all, yeah so
