[Verse]
Am
There's never much to say
C/G Fmaj7
Between the moments of our games and repartee
Am Am+7
There's never much to read
Am7 Am6 Fmaj7
Between the lines of what we need and what we'll take
Dm Dm+7 F/C
There's never much to talk about or say aloud
Bm7-5 E7sus E
But say it any – way
Am Am7/G F
Of holidays and yesterdays, and broken dreams
E7sus E7 Am E7
That somehow slipped a – way
[Verse]
Am Am/G# Am/G Am/F#
In books and maga - zines on how to be and what to see
Fmaj7
While you are being
Am Am/G#
Be-fore and after photographs
Am/G Am/F# Fmaj7
Teach how to pass from reaching to be-lieving
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C Dm/B
We live beyond our means on other people's dreams
E7sus E7
And that's suc-ceeding
Am Am/G Fmaj7
Between the lines of photographs I've seen the past
E7 Am A7
It isn't pleasing
[Verse]
Dm
So strike another match
We'll have another cup of wine
Am
And dance until the evening's dead
Of too much song and time
Dm C#+
There's never much to talk about
F/C Bm7-5
Or read between the lines
E7sus
Of what we dream about
When we're apart
E
And no one's looking on
Am Esus
To say you're mine
[Verse]
E Am C/G
It was a good year then, it was a good year then
We all remember
Am Am+7 Am7 Am6
The time you threw the looking glass and seemed a fool
F
Or very clever
Dm Dm+7 Dm/C
Don't spoil it all, I can't recall a time
Bm7-5 E7sus E7
When you were struck without an answer
Am Am/G Am/F
We'll live a quiet peaceful time be-tween the lines
Esus E7 Am A7
And go to-gether
[Verse]
Dm
And I'm striking up the band to play our last hurrah
Am
We'll dance until we've killed another evening off
E7sus
Don't think of anyone but me
I'll have no lovers on the side
Am
Tonight is all we've ever dreamed about
A7
For once let's get it right
G
We'll go down flying in the end
E7sus E Am A7
Throw an-other bottle in between the lines
Dm
I'll go down like a ship of state
Esus
Let's be gracious now
E Am E7
Between the lines
Am E7 Am E7
