Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  "" (for chorus)

NOTES:

||The picking pattern is too complex for me to write out, but is is

||important that you hammer on the third fret of first string and then off

||as you strike the bass G note

||

||the A before the chorus has a suspended lick in it

||listen for the 2nd string--it goes from fret 2 to 3 to 2 to 0

||(listen and you'll understand)

Verse

  Jacob's a fine boy but his parents don't get along

  They hardly talk, when they do

  He thinks he's done something wrong

  He heard all the screaming as he lay down to bed

  He should have been sleeping but he listened instead

 (chorus) They said he's fine, it's not his fault

  Between the lines, he somehow got caught

  And in our game, it's more like war

  I just don't think I love you anymore

  He picked up the phone, his tears touched the receiver

  His grandmother answered down in Tempe

  He told her the story - that his daddy was leaving

  She tried to convince him it was nothing he'd done

 (chorus) She said you're fine, it's not your fault

  Between the lines, you somehow got caught

  And in their game, it sounds more like war

  I just don't think she loves him anymore

Jacob's a father and his kids are in teens

He's done what he could to make meager ends meet

When it comes down to family, it's the primary goal

To keep the thing working no matter the toll

His sons heard them screaming about something he said

He opened the door and invited them in

(chorus) He said now sons, it's not your fault

Between the lines you somehow got caught

So when you're hurt, you lean on a crutch

But I still love your mother very much
