[Verse]
E                        E                               F#m7
Girl, I got your letter, telling me you're coming home tonight
    A                            G#m7
The lines were sweet and tender, signed with all your love
F#m7                          | B A | G#m F#m |
Pretty words to make me feel alright

[Verse]
E                      E                                    F#m7
Then I read it over, I got the feeling you're not completely mine
  A                    G#m7
I held it to my chest, where you always rest
      F#m7                B                E
And I cried, 'cause I can read between the lines


[Chorus]
  A                            A
Between the lines I see you're making believe
            E                     E
But I can't help it, I still want you
  A                                                   A
Between the lines it's plain, you're playing that old game,
            E                    |  B  A  |  G#m  F#m  |
But I still love you and I can't change


[Verse]
E                     E                                F#m7
Baby, I'll be waiting at the downtown station right on time
A                            G#m7
Reaching out to hold you the way I always do
F#m7                           A
I'll pretend that you are only mine
    A                B
And while I'm loving you
        A      B         E
I can't read between the lines


[Coda]
A                B
While I'm loving you
        A      B         E
I can't read between the lines
