	Intro:	E	A	D	A	E	B7	E

	E	B7	E
	I keep a	close watch on this heart of	mine

	B7	E
I keep my	eyes wide open all the	time.

	A	E
I keep the	ends out for the tie that	binds

	B7	E	A
Because you're	mine, I walk the	line!

	A	E7	A
	I find it	very, very easy to be	true

	E7	A
I find my-	self alone when each day is	through

	D	A
Yes, I'll	admit that I'm a fool for	you

	E7	A	D
Because you're	mine, I walk the	line!

	As sure as	night is dark and day is	light

	A7	D
I keep you	on my mind both day and	night

	G	D
And happi-	ness I've known proves that it's	right

	A7	D	A
Because you're	mine, I walk the	line!

	A	E7	A
	You've got a	way to keep me on your	side

	E7	A
You give me	cause for love that I can't	hide

	D	A
For you I	know I'd even try to turn the	tide

	E7	A	E
Because you're	mine, I walk the	line!

	E	B7	E
	I keep a	close watch on this heart of	mine

	B7	E
I keep my	eyes wide open all the	time.

	A	E
I keep the	ends out for the tie that	binds

	B7	E
Because you're	mine, I walk the	line!
