Dotted Lines

Intro: C F Am

Am                   F
What is it, keeps me returning
   C               G
To questions I ask
Am                      F
My paper heart has been burning
      C                 G
Since you threw a match

  Am                      F
I can't quit a habit like you dear
   C                 G
As cold, as they say
Am                      F
Something about how you live here
        C            G
I wanna live that way

      C
But I don't wanna take something
     F
That never was mine
   Am
Or fill in blank spaces
     G
With more dotted lines
    C
One thing I can promise
     F
When all the smoke clears
     Am
Just look in this window
    Em     Em   F  F
And you'll find me here

Am     F     C    G     x2
then   F     Am

C       F       Am      G
dadumda dadumda dadumda dadumda
C       F       Am      C
dadumda dadumda dadumda

  C
I never was someone
    F
Who knew what to say
  Am
I sank to the bottom
      G
While you rode the waves
    C
Why couldn't you teach me
   F
If only you knew
      Em                    F   <-- multiple strokes
How I longed for those words
      Em                    F   <-- multiple strokes
How I longed for those words

C       F       Am      G      x2
dadumda dadumda dadumda dadumda

(advisable to use multiple strums for last verse)
      C
But I don't wanna take something
     F
That never was mine
   Am
Or fill in blank spaces
     G
With more dotted lines
    C
One thing I can promise
     F
When all the smoke clears
     Am
Just look in this window
    Em     Em   F  F
And you'll find me here
