I Can Read Between The Lines

Biography:

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988), nicknamed "The Big O", was an influential American singer-songwriter and a pioneer of rock and roll, whose recording career spanned more than four decades. By the mid-1960s Orbison was internationally recognized for his ballads of lost love, rhythmically advanced melodies, three-octave vocal range, characteristic dark sunglasses, and sometimes distinctive usage of falsetto, typified in songs such as "Only the Lonely, "Oh, Pretty Woman", and "Crying".

[Intro]
| E | % | % | % |

[Verse]
E E F#m7
Girl, I got your letter, telling me you're coming home tonight
A G#m7
The lines were sweet and tender, signed with all your love
F#m7 | B A | G#m F#m |
Pretty words to make me feel alright

[Verse]
E E F#m7
Then I read it over, I got the feeling you're not completely mine
A G#m7
I held it to my chest, where you always rest
F#m7 B E
And I cried, 'cause I can read between the lines

[Chorus]
A A
Between the lines I see you're making believe
E E
But I can't help it, I still want you
A A
Between the lines it's plain, you're playing that old game,
E | B A | G#m F#m |
But I still love you and I can't change

[Verse]
E E F#m7
Baby, I'll be waiting at the downtown station right on time
A G#m7
Reaching out to hold you the way I always do
F#m7 A
I'll pretend that you are only mine
A B
And while I'm loving you
A B E
I can't read between the lines

[Coda]
A B
While I'm loving you
A B E
I can't read between the lines
