 NOTE: ~ ~ ~ = bass walk-down



INTRO: C ~ ~ ~ F  C (2x)

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

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


CHORUS:
       F      C
It was almost fine
         G      Am
You were almost mine
       C         G/B  Am
It was you and me and love made three
     F            C     ~ ~ ~ F  C
On a broken white line


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

        C               G/B
And the rain came down around that car
    F                        C
And we were underneath the sea
           G/B        Am
Was in the back seat, almost drowning
F             C
Holding on to me


CHORUS:
       F      C
It was almost fine
         G      Am
You were almost mine
     C       G/B      Am
From town to town, we chased it down
         F            C
Down the broken white line


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



INTERLUDE: C ~ ~ ~ F  C (2x)


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


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


CHORUS:
       F      C
It was almost fine
         G      Am
You were almost mine
    C      G/B     Am
But day by day you slipped away
          F            C     ~ ~ ~ F  C
Down that broken white line
               G/B    Am              F  C
