Tabbed by: Andrew Maynard

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
