"G" Dsus2 Em A G (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:

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

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

OUTRO: the same as chorus
