The Line That Ties Me Chords & Lyrics by Julia Stone
The Line That Ties Me
guitar chords lyrics
Bm
The walls are talking
D
and the only person
A
who can hear me
Bm
is nearly gone.
D
I stand by your bedside,
A
on the edge of words
G
That I can't say,
Bm
for the fear that I might fall.
Bm
Maybe I'm afraid that
D
the pictures that I paint,
A
Won't capture
Bm
the beauty of you.
D
And the last thing that you hear
A
is the silence in your ears,
G
As I sink beneath the weight
Bm
of it all.
Em
I could call you my lover,
A
call you a beast,
D C
Call you the island,
G
where faith doesn't reach.
Em
Call you a lion,
A
call you a man,
D C G
You're the line that ties me to things.
Bm
I don't understand.
Your smile as you wither, is as pretty as the picture,
You wouldn't sell to the lady next door.
You tell me music and art, it doesn't have a price,
It's for the heart, I should give it away,
Use it for the freedom of us all.
I could call you my lover, call you a beast,
Call you the island, where faith doesn't reach.
Call you a lion, call you a man,
You're the line that ties me to things.
I don't understand.
