Capo on first fret (chords relative to capo)


     Bbsus 


                  
Time to tell me the truth
               Bbsus                 
To burden your mouth for what you say
             
No pieces of paper in the way
                                    
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
             Bbsus
The opposite sides on which we fall
               
The loving you later's if at all

No right minds could wrong be this many times


                  
My memory is cruel
             Bbsus
I'm queen of attention to details
          
Defending intentions if he fails
                  
Until now, he told me her name
           Bbsus
It sounded familiar in a way
                                                   
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times
             
If only I had been listening



           
Leave unsaid unspoken
             
Eyes wide shut unopened

You and me
                  
Always between the lines
            Bbsus
Between the lines



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
So I've learned to listen through silence



           
Leave unsaid unspoken
             
Eyes wide shut unopened
                  
You and me always be
            
You and me always be



           
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
                 
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
               
Wait for me I'm almost ready
                 
When he meant let go

    



Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
