[Verse 1]

There's a fire burnin' in the basement

That I'd only stoke for you

I'd freeze my whole life

If you felt warmth all the way through

You have given hope

Where hope is hard to find

I hate the man I am

But I'll love him when you're mine

[Chorus]

When you are mine

No, I ain't so angry

When you are mine

This world don't owe me a thing

Since you are mine

Oh, the Lord could take me

And I could die right now

With no qualms or questioning

[Verse 2]

There were Pabst cans on the nightstand

Where your jewelry's layin' now

There's times that made me anxious

But there is beauty in finding out

How the good days come together

Like I always said they'd never

Back when I was younger

And the dark days kept me down

[Chorus]

When you are mine

No, I ain't so angry

When you are mine

This world don't owe me a thing

Since you are mine

Oh, the Lord could take me

And I could die right now

With no qualms or questioning

[Outro]

There's a fire burnin' in the basement

That I'd only stoke for you

I'd freeze my whole life

If you felt warmth all the way through

And you have given hope

Where hope is hard to find

I hate the man I am

But I'll love him when you're mine
