A Fine Line

          G                     D
There's a curve in the highway, just
 south of town
        Em                    
where a man has pulled over to 
 C
figure life out
     G                          D
with only his conscience and the 
lonesome sound
     C
of diesels winding up grade
G                                 
He's got a wife and two kids, and 
D
they love him so
           Em                    
He's got a woman down in Georgia, 
           C
and she's startin' to show
     G                           
He's damned if he leaves her, and 
      D
he's sure damned if he don't

[Chorus]
       C
And he wonders how life got this way
              D     G   C        
'cause it's a fine line in 
            D
between right and wrong
              G                 
Yea he's been crossing over that 
 C              D
border way too long
             Em                    
He should've seen it coming at him 
D
right from the start
          C                     
Now there ain't no escape from a 
 D
broken heart

Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
                               D
Now the call of the highway is a 
powerful thing
         Em                    C
like the pull of a lover, or a child
 in a swing
          G                      D
Gave his heart to two women only one
 wears his ring
         C
They're both gonna have his babies 
now
   G                        D
So how do you confess, what words 
don't explain
   Em                C
He never intended to cause this much
 pain
       G                           
Now he feels like a farmer who went
 D
 praying for rain
    C
Got more than he bargained from the 
clouds

[Chorus]
       D      G    C             
'cause it's a fine line in 
            D
between right and wrong
              G                 
Yea he's been crossing over that 
 C              D
border way too long
             Em                    
He should've seen it coming at him 
D
right from the start
          C                     
Now there ain't no escape from a 
 D
broken heart

[Bridge]
Bm                                
He'll turn his car around tonight,
    C
 go home and try to face the truth
Am         G                     
Everyone involved's getting hurt,
                 F#m
 now there ain't nothing he can do

[Chorus]
              D    G    C        
'cause it's a fine line in 
            D
between right and wrong
              G                 
Yea he's been crossing over that 
 C              D
border way too long
             Em                    
He should've seen it coming at him 
D
right from the start
          C                     
Now there ain't no escape from a 
 D
broken heart
            C                      
Yeah, there ain't no escape from a 
D
broken heart
                  C             
They're all gonna wind up with a 
 D
broken heart
