"G" Dsus2 Em A G (for chorus)
NOTES:
||The picking pattern is too complex for me to write out, but is is
||important that you hammer on the third fret of first string and then off
||as you strike the bass G note
||
||the A before the chorus has a suspended lick in it
||listen for the 2nd string--it goes from fret 2 to 3 to 2 to 0
||(listen and you'll understand)
VERSE:
G Dsus2 G DSUS2
Jacob's a fine boy but his parents don't get along
GThey hardly Dsus2talk, when they do
He thinks he's Emdone something Awrong
G Dsus2 G DSUS2
He heard all the screaming as he lay down to bed
GHe should haDsus2ve been sleeping but he lEmistened insteadA
(chorus) They said he's Emfine, it's not hisA fault
Between the Dlines, he somehow got Gcaught
And in our gEmame, it's more like wAar
I just don't think I loEmve you anymoreA
G Dsus2 G DSUS2
He picked up the phone, his tears touched the receiver
His gGrandmother aDsus2nswered down iEmn TempeA
G Dsus2 G DSUS2
He told her the story - that his daddy was leaving
GShe tried toDsus2 convince him it was nothEming he'd Adone
(chorus) She said you're fEmine, it's not your faAult
Between the Dlines, you somehow gotG caught
And in their gaEmme, it sounds more like wAar
I just doEmn't think she lAoves him anymore
Jacob's a father and his kids are in teens
He's done what he could to make meager ends meet
When it comes down to family, it's the primary goal
To keep the thing working no matter the toll
His sons heard them screaming about something he said
He opened the door and invited them in
(chorus) He said now sons, it's not your fault
Between the lines you somehow got caught
So when you're hurt, you lean on a crutch
But I still love your mother very much
OUTRO: the same as chorus
