        AmThere's never much to say

        Am             Am+7There's never much to read
            Am7              Am6                 Fmaj7Between the lines of what we need and what we'll take

[Verse]
   Am               Am/G#           Am/G           Am/F#In books and maga - zines on how to be and what to see
              Fmaj7While you are being
   Am              Am/G#Be-fore and after photographs

E7         Am          A7  It isn't pleasing

[Verse]
   DmSo strike another match

We'll have another cup of wine
    AmAnd dance until the evening's dead

Of too much song and time
        Dm            C#+There's never much to talk about
   F/C              Bm7-5Or read between the lines
           E7susOf what we dream about

When we're apart
    EAnd no one's looking on
              Am       EsusTo say you're mine

[Verse]
E          Am                       C/G  It was a good year then, it was a good year then

We all remember
    Am                 Am+7              Am7          Am6The time you threw the looking glass and seemed a fool
        FOr very clever
      Dm              Dm+7           Dm/CDon't spoil it all, I can't recall a time
              Bm7-5             E7sus   E7When you were struck without an answer
       Am          Am/G             Am/FWe'll live a quiet peaceful time be-tween the lines
Esus    E7     Am         A7    And go to-gether

[Verse]
        DmAnd I'm striking up the band to play our last hurrah
       AmWe'll dance until we've killed another evening off
               E7susDon't think of anyone but me

I'll have no lovers on the side
           AmTonight is all we've ever dreamed about
     A7For once let's get it right
               GWe'll go down flying in the end
          E7sus          E             Am      A7Throw an-other bottle in between the lines
              DmI'll go down like a ship of state
          EsusLet's be gracious now
E              Am     E7  Between the lines
Am     E7      Am      E7
