Steve Goodman - Between the lines

^CThe day you're born they sign a pi^Fece of paper ^CThat will certify the date^G of your birth ^CAnd the day you die they ^Fsign another Just ^Cto prove you^G've gone back ^Cto the earth

^BbAnd between those two pieces^F of paper ^CThere is the truth that is s^Go hard to find ^CAnd the story of your l^Fife is written ', but ^CYou must read i^Gn between ^Cthe lines

^BbNow when you're young you think ^Fit don't matter ^CIf you leap before you look ^{G C}But those old folks are wi^Fser and sadder ^CFrom the chance^Gs that the^Cy took

^BbNow when your chance comes al^Fong, you must take it ^CJust be careful and t^Gake your time ^CAnd the chances are good you will m^Fake it ^CIf you can r^Gead in betw^Ceen the lines

^FAnd when someone tells you they love you ^CAnd no one has ever loved you more ^FIt is wise to stop and consider how many ^DmTimes they might have said ^Gthat before

^FBecause when love leaves you cryin' ^CThen you will surely lose your mind ^FAnd you might have known love was lying ^DmIf you could read in be^Gtween the lines
