verse 1 
C                                 F 
The day you're born they sign a piece of paper 
C                         G 
That will certify the date of your birth 
C                        F 
And the day you die they sign another 
     C           G             C    
Just to prove you've gone back to the earth 


[Refrão]
 
Bb                          F                 
And between those two pieces of paper 
C                           G     
There is the truth that is so hard to find 
C                      F 
And the story of your life is written ', but   
C              G         C 
You must read in between the lines  

verse 2 
Bb                              F      
Now when you're young you think it don't matter 
C                           G     
If you leap before you look 
C                         F 
But those old folks are wiser and sadder 
C              G         C 
From the chances that they took 


[Refrão]
 
Bb                           F     
Now when your chance comes along, you must take it 
C                    G     
Just be careful and take your time 
C                                  F 
And the chances are good you will make it 
C           G          C

F               
And when someone tells you they love you 
C              
And no one has ever loved you more 
F 
It is wise to stop and consider how many 
Dm                         G  
Times they might have said that before 


[Refrão]
 
F 
Because when love leaves you cryin' 
C 
Then you will surely lose your mind 
F 
And you might have known love was lying 
Dm                     G 
If you could read in between the lines
