A Quiet Line

G          D
What can I say
      Em         C
Did I steal you away
       G             D                 Em     C
From a life that you thought you would lead?
    G           D
All days can be strange
         Em        C
But then August is dangerous
G            D            Em    C
Handing your heart to the heat

[Verse]
  G     D
A quiet line
  Em           C         G    D
I hope you can love me a long time
    Em           C               G D
I'd hope you can see me through, I find
    Em            C          G       D  Em  C  G  D  Em  C
The light in your eyes to be bright

[Verse]
   G           D            Em             C
It started out West in some mountain state test
       G            D          Em   C
That I carried back east in my bag
    G          D           Em           C
And then on to you and the next thing I knew
   G        D            Em   C
My city had more than it had

[Verse]
 G   D        Em          C
"One day, nothing without Providence"
G      D       Em           C
They'd sing, I hope you can love me
  G    D        Em
A long way from home
        C                 G   D  Em  C  G  D  Em  C
Because that's where I'll be

[Verse]
    G             D                 Em      C
And here's to downtown when there's no one around
       G          D           Em     C
In the saddest of bars on the block
      G            D     Em        C
We're changing the game, never the same
          G          D           Em     C
You can't argue with this little clock

[Verse]
        G             D
And you said you were fine
    Em        C             G D
The ship is betrayed by its ensign
       Em        C            G     D
A good distance away, it will still shine
    Em          C          G     D  Em  C
And wave in the wind to be seen

[Verse]
G     D  Em           C          G     D
Place me here in this minute of "Let's see"
  Em           C          G     D
I hope you can love who I might be

  Em            C           G   D Em  C
E|hop| e that the summer will last---- 

[Verse]
  G     D
A quiet line
  Em           C         G    D
I hope you can love me a long time
    Em           C               G D
I'd hope you can see me through, I find
    Em            C          G       D
The light in your eyes to be bright
    Em            C          G       D
The light in your eyes to be bright
    Em            C          G       D  Em  C  G  D  Em  C
The light in your eyes to be bright
