Sara Bareilles - Between The Lines

intro :
F# C#/F D#m7 Bmaj9/D#

F# C#/F
time to tell me the truth
D#m7
to burden your mouth for what you say
Bmaj9/D#
no pieces of paper in the way

F# C#/F
’cause i can’t continue pretending to choose
D#m7
these opposite sides on which we fall
Bmaj9/D#
the loving you laters if at all
C#/F Bsus2 F#
no right minds could wrong , be this many times

C#/F
my memory is cruel
D#m7
i’m queen of attention to details
Bmaj9/D# Bmaj9
defending intentions if he fails

F# C#/F
until now , he told me her name
D#m7
it sounded familiar in a way
Bmaj9/D# Bmaj9
i could have sworn i’d heard him say it
C#/F Bsus2
ten thousand times , oh , if only i had been listening

F# Bsus2 Bmaj9/D#
leave unsaid , unspoken
F# Bsus2 Bmaj9/D#
eyes wide shut , unopened
C#/F Bsus2 Bsus2/D# F#
you and me always between the lines
C#/F
between the lines

C#sus F# C#/F
i thought i , thought i was ready to bleed
D#m7
that we’d move from the shadows on the wall
Bmaj9/D# Bmaj9
stand in the center of it all

F# C#/F
too late , two choices , to stay or to leave
D#m7
mine was so easy to uncover
Bmaj9/D# Bmaj9
he’d already left with the other
C#/F Bsus2
so i learned to listen through silence

F# Bsus2 Bmaj9/D#
leave unsaid , unspoken
F# Bsus2 Bmaj9/D#
eyes wide shut , unopened
C#/F Bsus2 Bsus2/D# C#/F
you and me always be
Bsus2 Bsus2/D#
you and me always be

D#m Bmaj7 B6 D#m
i tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
Bmaj7 Bsus2
i’ll talk until the conversation doesn’t stay on
C#/F Bsus2 Bmaj9/D# C#/F B5
wait for me , i’m almost ready when he meant let go

F# Bsus2 Bmaj9/D#
leave unsaid , unspoken
F# Bsus2 Bmaj9/D#
eyes wide shut , unopened
C#/F Bsus2 Bsus2/D# C#/F
you and me always be
Bsus2 Bsus2/D#
you and me always
F# F#/G# F#/A# F#/D# F#
be – – – – – – tween the lines
C#/F D#m7 Bmaj9/D#
between the lines , between the lines
