Intro:
F#       C#/F          D#m7          Bmaj9/D#

F#                      C#/F
Time to tell me the truth
            D#m7
To burden your mouth for what you say
             Bmaj9/D#
No pieces of paper in the way

             F#                     C#/F
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
                 D#m7
These opposite sides on which we fall
            Bmaj9/D#
The loving you laters if at all
C#/F                       Bsus2                    F#
No right minds could wrong, be this many times

                C#/F
My memory is cruel
                D#m7
I'm queen of attention to details
          Bmaj9/D#                Bmaj9
Defending intentions if he fails

    F#                          C#/F
Until now, he told me her name
                 D#m7
It sounded familiar in a way
          Bmaj9/D#               Bmaj9
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it
                  C#/F          Bsus2
Ten thousand times, oh, if only I had been listening

F#                 Bsus2      Bmaj9/D#
Leave unsaid, unspoken
F#                 Bsus2      Bmaj9/D#
Eyes wide shut, unopened
C#/F      Bsus2  Bsus2/D#      F#
You and me always between the lines
           C#/F
Between the lines

C#sus     F#                                 C#/F
I thought I, thought I was ready to bleed
                          D#m7
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
       Bmaj9/D#          Bmaj9
Stand in the center of it all

      F#                           C#/F
Too late, two choices, to stay or to leave
              D#m7
Mine was so easy to uncover
                 Bmaj9/D#      Bmaj9
He'd already left with the other
C#/F            Bsus2
So I learned to listen through silence

F#                 Bsus2      Bmaj9/D#
Leave unsaid, unspoken
F#                 Bsus2      Bmaj9/D#
Eyes wide shut, unopened
C#/F      Bsus2  Bsus2/D#      C#/F
You and me always be
       Bsus2   Bsus2/D#
You and me always be

D#m         Bmaj7                B6               D#m
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
                       Bmaj7          Bsus2
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
C#/F         Bsus2    Bmaj9/D# C#/F             B5
Wait for me, I'm almost ready when he meant let go

F#                 Bsus2      Bmaj9/D#
Leave unsaid, unspoken
F#                 Bsus2      Bmaj9/D#
Eyes wide shut, unopened
C#/F      Bsus2  Bsus2/D#      C#/F
You and me always be
              Bsus2   Bsus2/D#
You   and   me   always
F#  F#/G#  F#/A#  F#/D#    F#
be------tween      the     lines
           C#/F         D#m7    Bmaj9/D#
Between the lines, between the lines
