G  G  Em  C


[Verse 1]
G               G
 Heard the ocean the first time
Em                C
 Picking seashells drunk at night
G                 G
 Fell into you and held on thight
         Em          C
You were all around, all around


G                  G
 Dripping ice cream of the pier
Em                     C
 Saw for miles from the ferris wheel
G                     G
 You were smiling with sunset eyes
       Em             C
And it felt so right, felt so right


[Chorus]
     G         G
When you were mine
     Em        C
When you were mine


[Verse 2]
G                 G
 Nothing's perfect the first time
Em                    C
 Tried so hard just to get it right
G                    G
 We were too young to realize
         Em                      C
Guess we held too thight, yes we held too thight


[Chorus]
     G         G
When you were mine
     Em        C
When you were mine
     G         G
When you were mine
     Em        C
When you were mine


[Bridge]
Em       Gsus4            C            C
 Now I'm staring at these photographs, losing sleep
Em         G           C            C
 The're my only living artifacts of you and me
Em  G     C            C
 I wonder who's loving you
Em       Gsus4        C          C
 Wishing for a way to bring me to


[Chorus]
     G         G
When you were mine
     Em        C
When you were mine
     G         G
When you were mine
     Em        C
When you were mine
             G           G
When you were mi- mi- mine
             Em        C
When you were mi- mi- mine
             G           G
When you were mi- mi- mine
             Em        C
When you were mi- mi- mine
