Line In The Dust

	  		 
 

Intro: 
| A C Em A | 2x 

Verse: 
A 
I'm walking outside 
               C 
And I see you arrive 
                    Em 
I say let's go for a ride 
                    G 
And have a good old time, whoa 
             A 
I'm saving up lies 
                         C 
Or just stay quiet every time 
                       Em 
While you talkin' your line 
                G 
Keep everything fine, whoa, fine 


Pre-Chorus: 
A 
Between us, I can see 
C 
Things are not what they used to be 
Em 
My old friend changed 
         G 
Or maybe it was me 
A 
Things get so complicated 
C 
Jokes made, friendships dissipated 
Em 
Long silence but I speak 
    G 
Now so belated 

 
       A                     
I say, hey, wait a minute 
C 
What's that you said? 
Em                                A 
I'm Not so sure that I heard you right 
          A 
Whoa, oh, hey, wait a minute 
C 
Oh, say that again 
Em 
You're in the dust 
                        A 
Drawing a long straight line 


Interlude: A C Em A 


Verse: 
A 
We'd be playing outside 
                   C 
We'd swing on the swings 
                  Em 
Shared most everything 
                   G 
Sit there and even sing 
              A 
Now I sit and wonder 
                      C 
Why it's a friendship charade 
                       Em 
Looking for fights all day 
                G 
I don't want to play, whoa 


Pre-Chorus: 
          A 
But I do, here we go 
               C 
I fire off another lame remark 
You're in the dark 
Em                  
No bite, just your bark 
                 G 
But it leaves a painful mark 
    A 
Oh, painful mark on your soul 
C 
Takes its toll 
                Em 
I might as well fold 
I've got my courage up 
      G 
Gonna roll low 



       A                     
I say, hey, wait a minute 
C 
What's that you said? 
Em                                A 
I'm Not so sure that I heard you right 
          A 
Whoa, oh, hey, wait a minute 
C 
Oh, say that again 
Em 
You're in the dust 
                        A 
Drawing a long straight line 



Interlude: 
| A C Em A | (2x) 


Verse: 
A 
We talk and talk 
              C 
But you never see 
                     Em 
Unreconstructed defiantly 
My old friend changed 
            G 
Or maybe it was me 
       A 
Things get so complicated 
C 
Jokes made, friendships dissipated 
Em 
I've stayed quiet 
                 G 
So we don't get alienated 


 
       A                     
I say, hey, wait a minute 
C 
What's that you said? 
Em                                A 
I'm Not so sure that I heard you right 
          A 
Whoa, oh, hey, wait a minute 
C 
Oh, say that again 
Em 
You're in the dust 
                        A 
Drawing a long straight line
