Between The Lines – Steve Goodman
Transcribed by Jon Paul Sapsford

Verse 1:
C majorC                 FF
The day you're born they sign a piece of paper
C majorC             G+G
That will certify the date of your birth
C majorC            FF
And the day you die they sign another
   C majorC      G+G       C majorC
Just to prove you've gone back to the earth

Chorus:
Bb majorBb             FF
And between those two pieces of paper
C majorC              G+G
There is the truth that is so hard to find
C majorC           FF
And the story of your life is written ', but
C majorC       G+G     C majorC
You must read in between the lines

Verse 2:
Bb majorBb               FF
Now when you're young you think it don't matter
C majorC              G+G
If you leap before you look
C majorC             FF
But those old folks are wiser and sadder
C majorC       G+G     C majorC
From the chances that they took

Chorus 2:
Bb majorBb              FF
Now when your chance comes along, you must take it
C majorC          G+G
Just be careful and take your time
C majorC                 FF
And the chances are good you will make it
C majorC      G+G     C majorC
If you can read in between the lines

Bridge:
FF
And when someone tells you they love you
C majorC
And no one has ever loved you more
FF
It is wise to stop and consider how many
DmDm             G+G
Times they might have said that before

Chorus 3:
FF
Because when love leaves you cryin'
C majorC
Then you will surely lose your mind
FF
And you might have known love was lying
DmDm           G+G
If you could read in between the lines

Verse 4:
FF
And when someone tells you they love you
C majorC
And no one has ever loved you more
FF
It is wise to stop and consider how many
DmDm        G+G
Times they might have said that before

Chorus 4:
FF
Because when love leaves you cryin'
C majorC
Then you will surely lose your mind
FF
And you might have known love was lying
DmDm           G+G
If you could read in between the lines
