VERSE:

G Dsus2 G DSUS2

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

G Dsus2

They hardly talk, when they do

Em A

He thinks he's done something wrong

G Dsus2 G DSUS2

He heard all the screaming as he lay down to bed

G Dsus2 Em A

He should have been sleeping but he listened instead

Em A

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

D G

Between the lines, he somehow got caught

Em A

And in our game, it's more like war

Em A

I just don't think I love you anymore

G Dsus2 G DSUS2

He picked up the phone, his tears touched the receiver

G Dsus2 Em A

His grandmother answered down in Tempe

G Dsus2 G DSUS2

He told her the story - that his daddy was leaving

G Dsus2 Em A

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

Em A

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

D G

Between the lines, you somehow got caught

Em A

And in their game, it sounds more like war

Em A

I just don't think she loves him anymore
