Between the Lines

(F#)Time to tell me the truth,

to burden your mouth for what you say.

No pieces of paper in the way.

'Cause I can't continue

pretending to (C#)choose

the opposite sides on which we fall.

The loving you laters, if at all.

No right minds could wrong be

this many times.

(F#)My mem'ry is (C#)cruel.

I'm queen of attention to details,

defending intentions if he fails.

Until now he told me her name.

It sounded familiar in a way.

I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times.

Oh, if only (Bsus2)I had been list'ning.

(F#)Leave unsaid, unspoken.

Eyes wide shut, unopened.

(C#)You and me (Bsus2)always between the lines,

(F#)between the lines.

(C#sus4)I thought I,

thought I was ready to bleed,

that we'd move from the shadows on the wall and stand in the center of it all.

Too late;

two choices:

to stay or to leave.

Mine was so easy to uncover.

He'd already left with the other.

(C#)So I've learned to

(Bsus2)listen through silence.

always be.

(C#)You and me

(Bsus2)always be.

(D#m)I tell myself

(Bmaj7)all the words he surely meant to say.

I'll talk until

the conversation doesn't stay on.

(C#)Wait for me, I'm (Bsus2)almost ready,

(C#)when he meant let (B5)go.

(F#)Leave unsaid, unspoken.
