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

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

F#              B
Leave unsaid unspoken
F#               B
Eyes wide shut unopened
C#
You and me
B                    F#
Always between the lines
             C#    G#m   B
Between the lines

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

F#              B
Leave unsaid unspoken
F#               B
Eyes wide shut unopened
C#                 B
You and me, always be
C#                 B
You and me, always be

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

(Hold chord)

F#    C# F#      B
Leave unsaid unspoken
F#   C#   F#      B
Eyes wide shut unopened
C#          B
You and me, always be
C#          B                   F#
You and me, always between the lines
             C#                 G#m
Between the lines, between the lines
B
Oh



Hope it's okay (Y)
