VERSE 1:
I keep a
[C7] close watch on this heart of
[F] mine
I keep my
[C7] eyes wide open all the
[F] time
I keep the
[Bb] ends out for the tie that
[F] binds
Because you're
[C7] mine, I walk the
[F] line
[Bb]
VERSE 2:
I find it
[F] very, very easy to be
[Bb] true
I find my-
[F]-self alone when each day's
[Bb] through
Yes, I'll ad-
[Eb]-mit that I'm a fool
[Bb] for you
Because you're
[F] mine, I walk the
[Bb] line
[Eb]
VERSE 3:
As sure as
[Bb] night is dark and day is
[Eb] light
I keep you
[Bb] on my mind both day and
[Eb] night
And happi-
[Ab]-ness I've known proves that it's
[Eb] right
Because you're
[Bb] mine, I walk the
[Eb] line
[Bb]
VERSE 4:
You've got a
[F] way to keep me on your
[Bb] side
You give me
[F] cause for love that I can't
[Bb] hide
For you I
[Eb] know I'd even try to turn the
[Bb] tide
Because you're
[F] mine, I walk the
[Bb] line
[F]
VERSE 5:
I keep a
[C7] close watch on this heart of
[F] mine
I keep my
[C7] eyes wide open all the
[F] time
I keep the
[Bb] ends out for the tie that
[F] binds
Because you're
[C7] mine, I walk the
[F] line
