VERSE 1
I could be in Amlove,
if you wGore that dress everyCday
With your hEair just so and youAmr eyes are grey
You'd make a Cbeautiful bEird on a Amline,
a Gbeautiful bride of CFrankenstein,
a Ebeautiful drop of iAmodine...
If you were Cmine, if you were Emine, if you were Ammine.
VERSE 2
I could be in lAmove,
if the sGun came out everydayC  
and set the skEy on fire and the cAmity gray.
I'd be tChere at the Edrop of a Amdime...
If you were Cmine, if you were Emine, if you were Ammine.
CHORUS
If you were mCine I'd tear the altar down of Eall that I've lost to rAmomance.
If you were mCine I'd risk my dignity if oEnly to give love a chAmance.
IGf you were miCne, IE'd have the woAmrld.
GI'd have the Cworld, Eif you were Ammine.
VERSE 3
I could be in Amlove,
if the Gsirens sang Ceveryday.
EYou draw me closer to Amdestiny.
CGive us a Esmile meant to Amshine.
GMe and my bride of CFrankenstein,
a Ebeautiful bird on a Amline,
If you were Cmine, if you were Emine, if you were Ammine.
Would you be Cmine, could you be Ammine?

I could be in love,

if you wore that dress everyday

E Am

With your hair just so and your eyes are grey

a beautiful bride of Frankenstein,

a beautiful drop of iodine...

If you were mine, if you were mine, if you were mine.

I could be in love,

G C

if the sun came out everyday

If you were mine, if you were mine, if you were mine.

If you were mine I'd tear the altar down of all that I've lost to romance.

a beautiful bird on a line,
