TITLE: I Walk the Line
Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

(E) / B7 - E - / / A - E - / B7 - E - / ( A - - - )

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

/ E7 - A - / / D - A - / E7 - A - / ( D - - - )

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

/ A7 - D - / / G - D - / A7 - D - / ( A - - - )

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

/ E7 - A - / / D - A - / E7 - A - / ( E - - - )

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

/ B7 - E - / / A - E - / B7 - E - /
