[Verse]
E                        E       
Girl, I got your letter, telling 
                        F#m7
me you're coming home tonight
    A                            
The lines were sweet and tender, 
G#m7
signed with all your love
F#m7                          | B 
Pretty words to make me feel 
A | G#m F#m |
alright

E                      E    
Then I read it over, I got the 
                                F#m7
feeling you're not completely mine
  A                    G#m7
I held it to my chest, where you 
always rest
      F#m7                B  
And I cried, 'cause I can read 
              E
between the lines


[Chorus]
  A                           
Between the lines I see you're 
 A
making believe
            E                     
But I can't help it, I still want 
E
you
  A                                
Between the lines it's plain, 
                   A
you're playing that old game,
            E                   
But I still love you and I can't 
 |  B  A  |  G#m  F#m  |
change


[Verse]
E                     E   
Baby, I'll be waiting at the 
                             F#m7
downtown station right on time
A                            G#m7
Reaching out to hold you the way I 
always do
F#m7                           A
I'll pretend that you are only mine
    A                B
And while I'm loving you
        A      B         E
I can't read between the lines


[Coda]
A                B
While I'm loving you
        A      B         E
I can't read between the lines
