The Marching Line

A        E  A
Boots on concrete
      A      E     A
Don't slip on  the leaves
A     E      A
Smile at the strangers
      A        E
Won't know what  you mean
A      E      A
Clouds like cathedrals
    A         E     A
The night hits  the sea

D     E F#m         A    E
  And I walk to the high light
D        E  F#m        A  E
Ships gonna take me at midnight
D          E    F#m         A   E
Storms sounding out like an overture
     D                E
It's time to join the marching line

A        E      A
Take back  your vest
A     E         A
Don't know what love is like;
  A     E        A       A    E    A (keep the same rhythm)
a bullet  in the chest
      A    E     A
And I never  say yes
A     E       A             A    E   A
Never known a day without a quiet  regret

D     E F#m         A    E
  And I walk to the high light
D        E  F#m        A  E
Ships gonna take me at midnight
D          E    F#m         A   E
Storms sounding out like an overture
     D                E               D
It's time to join the marching line
E              D
Leave it all behind
             E
and join the marching line
F#m   A                 E           D            F#m             A  E
         And there's no captain who calls "what's   your name?"
     F#m       A    E
An army of one
         F#m     A     E
It's just me
      A      E   A (same rhythm as verses)
and a drum

A      E      A                    E    A
Do you know a love like a bullet in the chest?

A       E
Ships on grey seas
A              E          D           E  F#m
Waves keep the time like a heartbeat
        A   E
It's an overture
     D                E               D
It's time to join the marching line
E              D
leave it all behind and join the
E
Marching line

A  E  A (same as always)

        A       E   A
Fortune tellers,
        A          E   A
fortune still hurts
