F  Fsus4   Bbsus Bb


F                  Fsus4
Time to tell me the truth
               Bbsus                 
To burden your mouth for what you say
             Bb
No pieces of paper in the way
         F                           Fsus4
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
             Bbsus
The opposite sides on which we fall
               Bb
The loving you later's if at all
C
No right minds could wrong be this many times


F                  Fsus4
My memory is cruel
             Bbsus
I'm queen of attention to details
          Bb
Defending intentions if he fails
F                  Fsus4
Until now, he told me her name
           Bbsus
It sounded familiar in a way
             Bb                                      C
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times
             Bb
If only I had been listening



F           Bb
Leave unsaid unspoken
F             Bb
Eyes wide shut unopened
C
You and me
Bb                  F
Always between the lines
            Bbsus
Between the lines



I thought I thought I was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I've learned to listen through silence



F           Bb
Leave unsaid unspoken
F             Bb
Eyes wide shut unopened
C          Bb       C 
You and me always be
           Bb 
You and me always be



Dm           Dsus2
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
Dm                 Dsus2
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
C               Bb
Wait for me I'm almost ready
C                 Bb
When he meant let go

Bbsus4    B



Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
