Not My Slave Oingo Boingo
Fun song. The bass line just goes to the octave with the beat (except the fills.
John Avila was a great player)
Intro: G Am F G (4x)
[G]With sadness in [Am]my heart and joy[F] in my mind[G]
I thought about the ghost that we left behind.
With everyone around telling us what to do
with deafening sound whisper "I love you."
The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out.
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night.
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgment day
[F]You're missing the [Am]whole point-- yo[F]u're not my litt[Am]le pet
[F]Don't throw away yo[Am]ur life-- The g[F]ames not over ye[G]t
[F]I do not own your s[Am]oul--don't want [F]you in a cage[Am]
[F]I only want your he[Am]art to find a sp[F]ecial place[G]
G Am F G (4x) (instrumental)
[G]You're mine now But y[Am]ou're not my sister[F] [G]
You're mine now But you're not my slave
You're mine But you're not my child
You're mine now But you're not my slave
You're mine now But you're not my slave
[G]With sadness in [Am]my heart and clo[F]unds in my head[G]
I thought about us both and the lives we led.
The pages on a book and pictures on a screen
We shape ourselves like clay from someone else's dream.
One second you are cast just like stones at my feet
But I am not a king please don't worship me.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper "I love you."
[F]You're missing the [Am]whole point-- yo[F]u're not my litt[Am]le pet
[F]Don't throw away yo[Am]ur life-- The g[F]ames not over ye[G]t
[F]I do not own your s[Am]oul--don't want [F]you in a cage[Am]
[F]I only want your he[Am]art to find a sp[F]ecial place[G]
G Am F G (4x)
[G]You're mine now But y[Am]ou're not my sister[F] [G]
You're mine now But you're not my slave
You're mine But you're not my child
You're mine now But you're not my slave
You're mine But you're not my sister
You're mine now But you're not my slave
You're mine But you're not my child
You're mine now But you're not my slave
You're mine now But you're not my slave
You're mine now But you're not my slave
You're mine now But you're not my slave
G Am F G (4x)
