Intro D  
AThe line runs Em7through like a Dtrain in a Abook
AOr meters Gunderwater, Dending with a Ahook
AIt sways in the Em7air when there's Dwind enough to Alift,
AThe fine ones are Gboundaries when DThere is a Arift
DI'm just pulling on a Bmline, on a line
GI'm just pulling on a Dline
DI'm just pulling on a Bmline, on a line
GSometimes it pulls on Dme
AThe line, it iEm7nks across the Dfreshly fallen Asnow,
AWhere only Gthose embracing Dcoldness would Ago
AIt whistles Em7and it whispers, and Dsometimes it Ahowls,
AIt sings to Gme sweetly from the Dtrees and in Avowels
DI'm just pulling on a Bmline, on a line
GI'm just pulling on a Dline
DI'm just pulling on a Bmline, on a line
GSometimes it pulls on Dme
AThe line, it Em7writes itself Dacross the dark Asky,
AIn the Gelectric flushes Dending with a Asigh
AIt weaves itEm7self into a Dfabric so Atrue
Aand floGws just like the river, Dgraceful and Ablue
DI'm just pulling on a Bmline, on a line
GI'm just pulling on a Dline
DI'm just pulling on a Bmline, on a line
GSometimes it pulls on Dme

A Em7 D A

The line runs through like a train in a book

It sways in the air when there's wind enough to lift,

A G D A

The fine ones are boundaries when There is a rift

I'm just pulling on a line, on a line

I'm just pulling on a line, on a line

G D

Sometimes it pulls on me

A Em7 D A

The line, it inks across the freshly fallen snow,

A G D A

Where only those embracing coldness would go

A Em7 D A

It whistles and it whispers, and sometimes it howls,

A G D A

It sings to me sweetly from the trees and in vowels

I'm just pulling on a line, on a line

I'm just pulling on a line, on a line

The line, it writes itself across the dark sky,

A G D A

In the electric flushes ending with a sigh

A Em7 D A

It weaves itself into a fabric so true

A G D A

and flows just like the river, graceful and blue

D Bm

I'm just pulling on a line, on a line

G D

I'm just pulling on a line

D Bm

I'm just pulling on a line, on a line

G D

Sometimes it pulls on me
