The Line That Ties Me chords by Julia Stone

Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

B minorBm
The walls are talking
    D MajorD
and the only person
    A augmentedA
who can hear me
     B minorBm
is nearly gone.
 D MajorD
I stand by your bedside,
    A augmentedA
on the edge of words
       G+G
That I can't say,
             B minorBm
for the fear that I might fall.

B minorBm
Maybe I'm afraid that
  D MajorD
the pictures that I paint,
   A augmentedA
Won't capture
       B minorBm
the beauty of you.
    D MajorD
And the last thing that you hear
    A augmentedA
is the silence in your ears,
   G+G
As I sink beneath the weight
   B minorBm
of it all.

    E minorEm
I could call you my lover,
      A augmentedA
call you a beast,
D MajorD      C majorC
Call you the island,
   G+G
where faith doesn't reach.
E minorEm
Call you a lion,
      A augmentedA
call you a man,
D MajorD          C majorC     G+G
You're the line that ties me to things.
       B minorBm
I don't understand.

Your smile as you wither, is as pretty as the picture,
You wouldn't sell to the lady next door.
You tell me music and art, it doesn't have a price,
It's for the heart, I should give it away,
Use it for the freedom of us all.

I could call you my lover, call you a beast,
Call you the island, where faith doesn't reach.
Call you a lion, call you a man,
You're the line that ties me to things.

THE END!
