Kris Delmhorst - Broken White Line


 NOTE: ~ ~ ~ = bass walk-down


INTRO: C majorC ~ ~ ~ FF C majorC (2x)

              G/BG/B
It's been four years since that day
     FF         C majorC
When the news came from the sky
          G/BG/B
You took 'Until we meet again'
  FF          G+G  C majorC
And turned it to 'Goodbye'

           G/BG/B
I hope that you won't rest in peace
         FF         C majorC
'Cause that would bore you right to tears
      G/BG/B   A minorAm
You always made the richest feast
    FF        C majorC
Of the dangers and the fears


CHORUS:
    FF   C majorC
It was almost fine
     G+G   A minorAm
You were almost mine
    C majorC     G/BG/B A minorAm
It was you and me and love made three
   FF      C majorC   ~ ~ ~ FF C majorC
On a broken white line


                   G/BG/B
Well, that night was long, there was one more song
     FF       C majorC
And then we were on our way
       G/BG/B
Driving slow, no place to go
  FF         G+G
And nothing more to say

    C majorC        G/BG/B
And the rain came down around that car
  FF            C majorC
And we were underneath the sea
      G/BG/B    A minorAm
Was in the back seat, almost drowning
FF       C majorC
Holding on to me

CHORUS:
    FF   C majorC
It was almost fine
     G+G   A minorAm
You were almost mine
   C majorC    G/BG/B   A minorAm
From town to town, we chased it down
     FF      C majorC
Down the broken white line


BRIDGE:
  G+G                 A minorAm          G+G
And looking in your eyes was just like staring at the sun
                   A minorAm
Always thought that I'd go blind, or end up all undone
      FF        C majorC       G+G         A minorAm
And in the end I turned my face away from where you shone so bright
   FF        C/EC/E          FF       G+G   C majorC
Now I wake in all this darkness crying for a little of your light___


INTERLUDE: C majorC ~ ~ ~ FF C majorC (2x)


             G/BG/B
It's been four years and now I find
     FF        C majorC
I've been living all this time
         G/BG/B
I built myself a little world
  FF       G+G
Of rhythm and of rhyme


    C majorC         G/BG/B
But sometimes I take your picture
   FF        C majorC
And I turn it to the wall
        G/BG/B   A minorAm
'Cause you are still a cliff and baby
 FF         C majorC
I still know how to fall


CHORUS:
    FF   C majorC
It was almost fine
     G+G   A minorAm
You were almost mine
  C majorC   G/BG/B   A minorAm
But day by day you slipped away
     FF      C majorC   ~ ~ ~ FF C majorC
Down that broken white line
        G/BG/B  A minorAm       FF C majorC
