The Marching Line

	  		 


A        E  A 
Boots on concrete 
      A      E     A 
Don't slip on  the leaves 
A     E      A 
Smile at the strangers 
      A        E 
Won't know what  you mean 
A      E      A 
Clouds like cathedrals 
    A         E     A 
The night hits  the sea 

D     E F#m         A    E 
  And I walk to the high light 
D        E  F#m        A  E 
Ships gonna take me at midnight 
D          E    F#m         A   E 
Storms sounding out like an overture 
     D                E 
It's time to join the marching line 

A        E      A 
Take back  your vest 
A     E         A 
Don't know what love is like;  
  A     E        A       A    E    A (keep the same rhythm) 
a bullet  in the chest 
      A    E     A 
And I never  say yes 
A     E       A             A    E   A 
Never known a day without a quiet  regret 

D     E F#m         A    E 
  And I walk to the high light 
D        E  F#m        A  E 
Ships gonna take me at midnight 
D          E    F#m         A   E 
Storms sounding out like an overture 
     D                E               D 
It's time to join the marching line 
E              D 
Leave it all behind 
             E 
and join the marching line 
F#m   A                 E           D            F#m             A  E   
         And there's no captain who calls "what's   your name?" 
     F#m       A    E    
An army of one 
         F#m     A     E 
It's just me  
      A      E   A (same rhythm as verses) 
and a drum 

A      E      A                    E    A 
Do you know a love like a bullet in the chest? 

A       E 
Ships on grey seas 
A              E          D           E  F#m 
Waves keep the time like a heartbeat 
        A   E 
It's an overture 
     D                E               D 
It's time to join the marching line 
E              D  
leave it all behind and join the 
E 
Marching line 

A  E  A (same as always) 

        A       E   A 
Fortune tellers,      
        A          E   A 
fortune still hurts
