verse 1 

   E                     A                               E                     A 
Between the lines, that's wond'rin' what to say, when you ain't sayin' nothin' 
   E                     A                               E                     A 
Between the lines, that's thinkin' about the silence that hides behind your smile 
   E                     A                         E                         A 
Between the lines, that's walkin' on eggshells that whisper keep your footing 
   E                     A                               E                 A 
Between the lines, that's watchin' what you're doin', pretendin' to be blind 

Pre-Chorus 

G#m                A       E                    A 
The truth is just a shadow, you can never pin it down 
G#m                     A             B 
And the words are always hollow, never yes or no, they're in the middle ground 


           E                  A 
Between the lines! Between the lines! 
           E                  A 
Between the lines! Between the lines! 
           E      A           E      A 
Between the lines. Between the lines. 

verse 2 

   E                     A                                 E                             A 
Between the lines, that's tryin' to guess the meanin', when there ain't none to begin with 
   E                     A                          E                  A 
Between the lines, that's waitin' for the warlord to drop the other shoe 
   E                     A                           E                     A 
Between the lines, that's wond'rin' why the answer is just another question 
   E                     A                                 E                       A 
Between the lines, that's thinkin' about the shotgun that's lookin' straight at you 

Pre-Chorus 

G#m         A       E                  A 
I was just a shadow, and I never made a sound 
G#m               A                        B 
But how can you be livin', when you're just standin' there on the middle ground 


           E                  A 
Between the lines! Between the lines! 
           E                  A 
Between the lines! Between the lines! 
           E      A           E      A 
Between the lines. Between the lines. 


           E                  A 
Between the lines! Between the lines! 
           E                  A 
Between the lines! Between the lines! 
           E                  A 
Between the lines! Between the lines! 
           E                  A 
Between the lines! Between the lines! 
                 E 
Between the lines...
