Lifeline

Ben Harper (2009)

 
Intro: E
C#m G#m
Life is much too short to sit and wonder
B C#m C#m B
Who's gonna make the next move
C#m E
And will slowly pull you under
B C#m C#m B
When you've always got something to prove
 
A E
I don't want to wait a lifetime
B C#m C#m B
Yours or mine, yours or mine
A E
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline
B C#m A E
Your lifeline, your lifeline
B C#m A E
Your lifeline, your lifeline
 
You say that I misheard you 
But I think you misspoke 
I hear you laugh so loudly 
while I patiently await the joke 
 
I don't want to wait a lifetime 
Not yours 
Not mine 
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline 
Your lifeline, your lifeline 
A
Your lifeline, your life
 
Solo - b' and e' open

It's a crime with only victims 
We're all laid out in a row 
And it's hardest to listen 
To what we already should know 
 
I could hold out for a lifetime 
Yours or mine, yours and mine 
Can't you see me reaching for your lifeline? 
Your lifeline, your lifeline 
The lifeline, the lifeline 
A
Your lifeline, your life
B C C D D E E E
your life
