The Line That Ties Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The walls are talking and the only[C] person
who can [G]hear me is nearly [Am]gone
[C]I stand by your bedside,
on the [G]edge of words
That I can't [F]say,
for the fear [Am]that I might fall
Maybe I'm afraid that the
[C]pictures that I paint
Won't [G]capture the beauty [Am]of you
And [C]the last thing that you hear
is the si[G]lence in your ears
As [F]I sink beneath the weight [Am]of it all

[Verse 2]
I could [Dm]call you my lover, [G]call you a beast
[C]Call you the island,
[Bb]wher[F]e faith doesn't reach
[Dm]Call you a lion, [G]call you a man
You're the [C]line that ties [Bb]me to thing[F]s
I don't understand
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Your smile as you wither,
is as [C]pretty as the picture
[G]You wouldn't sell to
the lady next [Am]door
You tell me [C]music and art,
it doesn't have a [G]price
It's for the heart, I [F]should give it away
Use it for the [Am]freedom of us all

[Verse 4]
I could [Dm]call you my lover, [G]call you a beast
[C]Call you the island,
[Bb]wher[F]e faith doesn't reach
[Dm]Call you a lion, [G]call you a man
You're the [C]line that ties [Bb]me to things
[F]I don't understand
