Between The Lines Tab

by Sara Bareilles


                    
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 choose
              
The opposite sides on which we fall
                
The loving you matters if at all
                      
No right minds could wrong be that many times

                 
   My memory is cruel 
               
I'm queen of attention to detail
            
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 I had been listening

              
Leave unsaid unspoken
               
Eyes wide shut unopened

You and me
                    
Always between the lines
                    
Between the lines

                                   
I thought I thought I was ready to bleed
                            
That we'd move on 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 

(Hold chord)

           
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

Oh



Hope it's okay (Y)
