Keep It Between the Lines Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]He was sitting beside me
In the [G]passenger seat
As I [D]looked through the windshield
At [A]the quiet little street
He was smil[D]ing so proud
As he [G]gave me the key
[D]But inside, I knew
He was as [A]nervous as me

[Verse 2]
I said, [D]"Daddy, oh daddy
[G]Are you sure I know how
Are you [D]sure that I'm ready
To [A]drive this car now"

[Verse 3]
He said, "I'm [D]right here
beside you
And you're [G]gonna do fine
[Bm]All you gotta do
[A]Is keep it between the lines
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]'Cause it's [D]a long[G], narr[A]ow road[D]
[G]Only the [A]good Lord [Bm]knows
Where it leads in the [G]end[D][Em]
But you [G]got to [A]be [G]gin
[A]So keep your han[G]ds on [A]the whe[D]el
Be[G]lieve in the thing[A]s that are r[Bm]eal
Just take your [G]time[D]
[Em]And keep[A] it be[D]tween the lines

[Verse 5]
[D]
I was sitting in my chair
And [G]sneaking a look at him
[D]Ly ing on the floor with his [A]coloring book
Then [D]he caught me watching
And he [G]climbed on my knee

[Verse 6]
He said [D]"Daddy, oh daddy
Would you [A]do one with me"
Then I [D]hugged him so tightly
As [G]we turned the page
Said, "I [D]haven't done this
Since [A]I was your age"

[Verse 7]
He said, "I'm [D]right here beside you
And you're [G]gonna do fine
Daddy, [Bm]all you gotta do
Is [A]keep it between the lines"
[D]

[Verse 8]
So we finished the picture
And I [G]put him to bed
Got [D]down on my knees and
[A]I bowed my head

[Verse 9]
I said [D]"Father, oh father,
[G]I feel so alone
[D]Are you sure I can raise him
With [A]his mommy gone"
Then the [D]answer came
back so [G]gentle and low
In [D]words of my daddy, [A]from so long ago

[Verse 10]
He said, "I'm [D]right here
beside you
And you're [G]gonna do fine
[Bm]All you gotta do
Is [A]keep it between the lines"
[D]

[Verse 11]
[Em]So k[D]eep your h[G]ands o[A]n the wh[D]eel
Be[G]lieve in the thing[A]s that are r[Bm]eal
Take your [G]time, [D]and[A]
Keep it between the lines
[D]

[Verse 12]
Just take your [G]time, and
[A]Keep it between [D]the lines
