chorus)

NOTES:
||The picking pattern is too complex
 for me to write out, but is is
||important that you hammer on the 
third fret of first string and then 
off
||as you strike the bass G note
||
||the A before the chorus has a 
suspended lick in it
||listen for the 2nd string--it goes
 from fret 2 to 3 to 2 to 0
||(listen and you'll understand)


VERSE:

                G         Dsus2     
       G                DSUS2
        Jacob's a fine boy but his 
parents don't get along
        G           Dsus2
        They hardly talk, when they 
do
                       Em  
        He thinks he's done 
           A
something wrong
        G         Dsus2            G
                DSUS2

        He heard all the screaming 
as he lay down to bed
        G           Dsus2         
        He should have been 
           Em             A
sleeping but he listened instead


                               Em  
(chorus)        They said he's 
              A
fine, it's not his fault
                            D      
                Between the lines, 
               G
he somehow got caught
                            Em  
                And in our game, 
                 A
it's more like war
                I just don't think I
   Em            A
 love you anymore

                G         Dsus2     
       G                DSUS2
        He picked up the phone, his 
tears touched the receiver
             G           Dsus2 
        His grandmother answered 
        Em     A
down in Tempe
        G         Dsus2            G
                DSUS2
        He told her the story - that
 his daddy was leaving
        G           Dsus2         
        She tried to convince him 
           Em       A
it was nothing he'd done

(chorus)        She said you're 
 Em                   A
fine, it's not your fault
                            D      
                Between the lines, 
               G
you somehow got caught
                               Em  
                And in their game, 
                     A
it sounds more like war
                         Em        
                I just don't think 
     A
she loves him anymore


        Jacob's a father and his 
kids are in teens
        He's done what he could to 
make meager ends meet
        When it comes down to 
family, it's the primary goal
        To keep the thing working no
 matter the toll

        His sons heard them 
screaming about something he said
        He opened the door and 
invited them in


(chorus)        He said now sons, 
it's not your fault
                Between the lines 
you somehow got caught
                So when you're hurt,
 you lean on a crutch
                But I still love 
your mother very much


OUTRO: the same as chorus
