Am          C
You used to talk about
        F
How you wanted to believe
Am            C
Sometimes you let it out
              F
Sometimes you kept it all from me
  G
I never meant to get in the way

[Chorus]
C                            G
Every time I breathe I tow a fine line
C                            G
What's become of me? A sorry forced rhyme
F                  G
I always wanted to show you how
F                   G
I only troubled you with my doubt

[Pre-Verse]
Am  C  F    (x2)

[Verse 2]
  Am             C
I don't stand to face the sun
    F
The leaves are in the gutter

And the clouds are rolling in
  Am            C
I won't lean on anyone
  F
I never learned to fake it
                 G
So I never could fool you

With the honest truth

[Chorus]
C                            G
Every time I breathe I tow a fine line
C                            G
What's become of me? A sorry forced rhyme
F                  G
I always wanted to show you how
F                   G
I only troubled you with my doubt
C                               G
All the tragedy that could have been worse
C                            G
Walking in my sleep until my feet hurt
F                  G
I always wanted to show you how
F                   G
I only troubled you with my doubt

[Bridge]
F   G         C               F
  I guess the means is always hard when
F     G      C                     F
  The end is something that you'll never get
F       G          C            F
   This book could end a little different
F         G        Am
But it'll end with me

[Guitar Solo]
Am   C   F    (x2)
G

[Chorus]
C                            G
Every time I breathe I tow a fine line
C                            G
What's become of me? A sorry forced rhyme
F                  G
I always wanted to show you how
F                   G
I only troubled you with my doubt
C                               G
All the tragedy that could have been worse
C                            G
Walking in my sleep until my feet hurt
F                  G
I always wanted to show you how
F                   G
I only troubled you with my doubt

[Outro/Keyboard Solo]
Am   C   F    (x4)
