#Fine Line by Hootie and the Blowfish
#
#
#This tune is taken from Hootie's Let Her Cry single. They've been playing it
#for years (I'm sure) and I had the pleasure of seeing them perform it live at
#Hardee's Walnut Creek in Raleigh, NC, back in August of '95. I think the
#song was written by their producer, Don Gheman (I think), and I love the
#song. I'm not exactly sure on the lyrics, the strength of Darius' voice kind
#of muffles his lyrics sometimes, so if the words don't make sense to you,
#they may be incorrect.

#
# INTRO: strum on G
#
#VERSE:
There's a [G]curve in the highway, just south of town[D]
Where a m[Em]an has pulled over over , To (C)figure Life out
With only h[G]is conscience, and The lonesome soun[D]d
of a diesel[C]winding up the grade
Got a wife a[G]nd two kids, They love him so ([D]?)
Got a woman [Em]down in Charleston, and she's starting[C] to show
And he's dam[G]ned if he leaves her, and he's sure damne[D]d if he don't
And he wonde[C]rs how his life got this way....
CHORUS:
Cause it's a fine li[D]ne i[G]nbetween [C]right and wrong [D]
[G] [C]Yeah you've been crossi[D]n' over that border way too long
He should've[Em] seen it comin' at him right from the [D]start[G]
Now there ai[C]n't no escape from a broken heart[D][G]
[C] [D][G]VERSE 2:
The call [G]of the highway is a powerful thing[D]
Like the pull o[Em]F a lover, or a child in a swing[C]
And he's tal[G]kin' to her, only one way to explain[D]
And there bot[C]h gonna have his babies now
So ho[G]w do you confess what words [D]won't explain?
He n[Em]ever intended to cause this[C] much pain
And [G]I feel like a farmer who's bee[D]n prayin' for the rain
Got [C]more than he bargained from the clouds....
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
[Bm]He'll turn his car around tonight, go home and try [C]to face the truth
[Am]Everyone involved's[G] gettin' hurt and there ain't n[D]othing he can do
[D]no no no
(i use to know the guitar solo but I forgot how to play it and I'm too lazy
to figure it out again, but here are the chords to it in the same pattern as
the chorus)
[D] [G][C] [D] [G] [C][D][Em]He should've seen it comin' at him right from the [D]start [G]
[C]Now there ain't no, now there ain't no escape fro[D]m a [G]
CHORUS:
[D]Fine Lin[G]e inbetwee[C]n right and wrong[D]
[G] [C]Yeah you've been cross[D]in' over that border way too long
[Em]He should've seen it comin' at him right from the[D] start[G]
[C] [D][G]Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
[C]Now there ain't no escapin' from a broken heart[D][G]
[C]Yeah we're all gonna wind up with a broken heart[D][G]
(mumbling) Nobody'[C]s gettin out without a broken heart[D][G]
[C] [D][G]Okay, that's the song. Maybe someday I'll come back and put in the guitar
solo, but not any time soon. If you have any questions, email is good
