There's ^Amnever much to say Between the ^C/Gmoments of our games and repar^Fmaj7tee There's ^Amnever much to r^Am+7ead Between the ^Am7lines of what we ^Am6need and what we'll ^Fmaj7take There's ^Dmnever much to ^Dm+7talk about or ^F/Csay aloud Bm7-5 E7sus E But say it any – way Of ^Amholidays and ^Am7/Gyesterdays, and ^Fbroken dreams That ^E7sussomehow s^E7lipped a – ^Amway ^E7

[Verse]

In ^Ambooks and maga - ^Am/G#zines on how to ^Am/Gbe and what to ^Am/F#see While you are ^Fmaj7being Be-^Amfore and after p^Am/G#hotographs Teach ^Am/Ghow to pass from ^Am/F#reaching to be-^Fmaj7lieving We ^Dmlive beyond our ^Dm/C#means on other ^Dm/Cpeople's dreams^Dm/B And that's suc-^E7susceeding ^E7 Be^Amtween the lines of ^Am/Gphotographs I've ^Fmaj7seen the past ^E7 It isn't ^Ampleasing ^A7

[Verse]

So ^Dmstrike another match We'll have another cup of wine And ^Amdance until the evening's dead

Of too much song and time

There's ^Dmnever much to ^C#+talk about F/C Bm7-5 Or read between the lines Of what we ^E7susdream about

When we're apart

And ^Eno one's looking on To say you're ^Ammine ^Esus

[Verse]

^E It was a ^Amgood year then, it was a ^C/Ggood year then We all remember The ^Amtime you threw the ^Am+7looking glass and ^Am7seemed a fool^Am6 Or very ^Fclever Don't ^Dmspoil it all, I ^Dm+7can't recall a ^Dm/Ctime Bm7-5 E7sus E7 When you were struck without an answer We'll l^Amive a quiet ^Am/Gpeaceful time be-^Am/Ftween the lines ^Esus And ^E7go to-g^Amether ^A7

[Verse]

And I'm ^Dmstriking up the band to play our last hurrah We'll d^Amance until we've killed another evening off Don't think of ^E7susanyone but me

I'll have no lovers on the side

Tonight is ^Amall we've ever dreamed about For o^A7nce let's get it right We'll go down f^Glying in the end Throw an-o^E7susther bottle in ^Ebetween the li^Amnes ^A7 I'll go down l^Dmike a ship of state Let's be g^Esusracious now ^E Between the l^Amines ^E7 Am E7 Am E7
