Keep It Between the Lines Ricky Van Shelton
Keep it Between the Lines
Ricky Van Shelton
Capo 1
He was [E]sitting beside me in the [A]passenger seat,
as we [E]looked out the windsheild,
down the [B7]quiet little street,
he was [E]smiling so proudly, as he [A]gave me the key,
but [E]inside I knew he was as [B7]nervous as me,
he said, I'm [E]right her beside you,
and your [A]gonna do fine, [Dbm]all you gotta do is,
"[B7]Keep it Between the [E]Lines"[Esus] [E]
Chorus
Cause it's a [A]long [B7]narrow r[E]oad,
and [A]only the [B7]good Lord [Dbm]knows,
where it leads in the [A]end,
[F#m]but you got to be[B7]gin,
so keep your [A]hands [B7]on the [E]wheel,
be[A]lieve in the [B7]things that are [Dbm]real,
and take your [A]time, and,
"[F#m]Keep it be[B7]tween the [E]lines"[Esus] [E]
Verse:
Well I was [E]sitting in my chair trying to [A]sneak in a look
at him [E]lying on the floor with his [B7]coloring books,
and then he [E]caught me watching, and he [A]climbed on my knee,
said, [E]daddy, oh daddy, would you [B7]do one with me,
then I [E]hugged him so tightly, as we [A]turned the page,
said I [E]haven't done this since [B7]I was your age,
he said, I'm [E]right here beside you and your [A]gonna do fine,
Daddy, [Dbm]all you gotta do is, "[B7]Keep it Between the [E]Lines"[Esus] [E]
So we [E]finished the picture, and I [A]put him to bed,
got [E]down on my knees, and [B7]I bowed my head,
and I said, [E]Father, oh Father, I [A]feel so alone,
are you [E]sure I can raise him, with [B7]his momma gone,
then the [E]answer came back, so [A]gentle and low,
in the [E]words of my daddy, from [B7]so long ago,
he said, I'm [E]right here beside you and your [A]gonna do fine,
[Dbm]all you gotta do is, "[B7]Keep it Between the L[E]ines"[Esus] [E]
Chorus:
Cause it's a [A]long [B7]narrow [E]road,
and [A]only the [B7]good Lord [Dbm]knows,
where it leads in the [A]end,
[F#m]but you got to be[B7]gin,
so keep your [A]hands [B7]on the w[E]heel,
be[A]lieve in the [B7]things that are [Dbm]real,
and take your [A]time, and,
"[F#m]Keep it Be[B7]tween the [E]Lines"[Esus] [E]
Yes, take your [A]time, and,
"[F#m]Keep it Be[B7]tween the [E]Lines"[Esus] [E] [B7] [E]
