[Intro 1]
[Bb][F][G][F][C][D]
[Dm][D]

[Verse 1]
I've got some mighty tall [Dm]tales
[D]from livin' hard and fast
I'm a walkin,' talkin,' livin,'
breathin,' portrait of my past
I've [G]double- crossed the devil,
prayed the Lord my soul to keep
[D]Escaped some early graves
by the skin of my teeth
All the deep[A]est secrets of my soul the world
can plainly see
[G]'Cause everything I've ever
done is writ[A]ten all [G]over [D]me
If you just [F]read [C]between [D]the lines of this
[F]well- weathered [C]face [D]of mine
Every [Bb]wrinkle,
every scar was [G]a painful work of [D]art
That remind[A]s me of
mistakes that I've [G]made
And no story I can tell can [A]tell it quite as [D]well
As these [Bb]souvenirs that livin's left be[G]hind
So take a [A]long,
hard look at the cover of this book
And [Bb]read [F]between [G]the lines
And [F]read [C]between the lines

[C][D][Dm][D]

[Verse 2]
They might be hard [D]to find on this
rigid face of stone
There are pleasant deep impressions
that are solid as gold
[Dm]And I'll be th[G]e first to tell you that this
ol' boy's been blessed
[D]'Cause even the worst of [Dm]times
[D]have turned out for the best
Like [A]roads on a map they cross
a battered stretch of skin
You can [G]trace your way through memory
lane to [F]anywhere [G]I've bee[D]n

[Verse 3]
If you just [F]read [C]between [D]the lines of this
[F]well- weathered [C]face of [Dm]mine[D]
Every [Bb]wrinkle,
every scar was a [G]painful work of [D]art
That [A]reminds me of mistakes
that [G]I've made
And no story I can tell can [A]tell it quite [D]as well
As these [Bb]souvenirs that livin's left be[G]hind
So take a [A]long,
hard look at the cover of this book
And [Bb]read [F]between [G]the lines
And [F]read [C]between the lines
