(F#)Time
to tell me the truth,
to bur den your mouth for what you say.
No piec es of pa per in the way.
’Cause I can’t con tin ue
pre tend ing to choose
the op po site sides on which we fall.
The lov ing you lat ers, if at all.
(C#)No right minds could wrong be
this man y times.
My mem ’ry is cruel.
I’m queen of at ten tion to de tails,
de fend ing in ten tions if he fails.
Un til now
he told me her name.
It sound ed fa mil iar in a way.
I could have sworn I’d heard him say it ten thou sand times.
Oh, if on ly (Bsus2)I had been lis t’ning.
(F#)Leave un said, un spo ken.
(F#)Eyes wide shut, un o pened.
(C#)You and me
(Bsus2)al ways be
tween the lines,
be tween the lines.
I thought I,
thought I was read y to bleed,
that we’d move from the shad ows on the wall
and stand in the cen ter of it all.
Too late; two choic es: to stay
or to leave.
Mine was so eas y to un cov er.
He’d al read y left with the oth er.
(C#)So I’ve learned to
(Bsus2)lis ten through si lence.
(Bsus2)al ways be.
You and me
(Bsus2)al ways be.
I tell my self
(B)all the words he sure ly meant to say.
I’ll talk un til
the (Bmaj7)con ver sa tion does n’t stay on.
(C#)Wait for me, I’m
(Bsus2)al most (Bsus2)read y,
(C#)when he meant let
(B5)go.
(F#)Leave un said, un spo ken.
(F#)Eyes wide shut, un o pened.
(C#)You and me
(Bsus2)al ways be.
You and me
(Bsus2)al ways (Bsus2)be
tween the lines.
Be tween the lines,
be tween the lines.
Mm.
