The Fine Line Of A Quiet Life

[Intro]
E
 
 
[Verse]
E
I would have thought by now I’d be overgrown
E
and at the station waiting I should have known
A
just how much life was inside of me, cut down a branch of my family tree.
E
You find it hard to see that the future’s bright ‘cus you just sleep all day and stay up all night.
A
Be safe, be brave, be whatever you like, just don’t involve me
A
‘cus I don’t wanna do it again.
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m                   B                    E
I’m getting tired and old. I only wanted a friend
                         C#m                     F#m
someone to do as they’re told. I started falling apart
                   B
as I was ready to go.
 
 
[Verse]
E
I see a glass half full and you say you don’t.
 
I know you say you will but I know you won’t.
A
Your teeth dug in and they won’t let go,
 
you try your best but it just don’t show.
E
And when the road is closed and you’re walking home
 
could it be time to call it and just go home
A
to your fine line of a quiet life,
 
acquired by knowing that
A
I don’t wanna do it again.
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m                   B                    E
I’m getting tired and old. I only wanted a friend,
                     C#m                     F#m
I’ll do whatever I’m told. I started falling apart
                  B
as I was ready to go.

[Outro]
E               A                F#m                B
When everything beside you comes crashing down I’ll find you
E                   A           F#m               B
and while I sleep I see you and what it’s like to be you
E                      A                F#m        B
Take care and don’t be fearful, there’s no undoing evil.
E                   A            F#m           B               E
It’s all a bunch of lies anyway, so why bother, why waste your tiiiiiiiiiiiii
                                                   E
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
