( keep using the same chords as you play the next three stanzas )

i’ve never been too good at readin’ in between the lines
so babe spell it out but you don’t have to shout when you’re talking to me
do you care?
are you there?
well neither Am i

don’t lock your door everyone is poor between the lines
and i could never steal the sadness you feel when your changing you mind
oh my dear
can you hear?
well neither can i

i want to live and i want you to live happy and free
but i don’t know how to seperate the now from what used to be
will you sleep?
not a wink
well neither will i
