[Verse 1]
BetEween the lines, that's Awond'rin' what to say, when you Eain't sayin' nothin'A  
BetEween the lines, that's Athinkin' about the silence that Ehides behind your smiAle
BetEween the lines, that's Awalkin' on eggshells that Ewhisper keep your footingA  
BetEween the lines, that's Awatchin' what you're doin', preEtendin' to be blinAd
[Pre-Chorus]
G#mThe truth is just a Ashadow, Eyou can never pin it Adown
G#mAnd the words are always Ahollow, never Byes or no, they're in the middle ground
[Chorus]
Between the Elines! Between the Alines!
Between the Elines! Between the Alines!
Between the Elines. ABetween the Elines.A  
[Verse 2]
BetEween the lines, that's Atryin' to guess the meanin', when Ethere ain't none to begin witAh
BetEween the lines, that's Awaitin' for the warlord to Edrop the other shoAe
BetEween the lines, that's Awond'rin' why the answer is Ejust another questionA  
BetEween the lines, that's Athinkin' about the shotgun that's Elookin' straight at youA  
[Pre-Chorus]
G#mI was just a Ashadow, Eand I never made a Asound
G#mBut how can you be Alivin', when you're just Bstandin' there on the middle ground
[Chorus]
Between the Elines! Between the Alines!
Between the Elines! Between the Alines!
Between the Elines. ABetween the Elines.A  
[Chorus]
Between the Elines! Between the Alines!
Between the Elines! Between the Alines!
Between the Elines! Between the Alines!
Between the Elines! Between the Alines!
