Walk a Straight Line

--------------------

Intro -- "Walkdown" to Am, see notes at end

I need some [G]help. [C] Help to de[G]cide.[C]
G D (Walkdown to Em)
Whether its our love, steps out of time.

You say you [G]need,[C] time on your [G]own[C]
time to [G]accept how[D] our love has [G]grown.

And when you [C]think about
all the [G]bad in me
think a[A7]bout this too
D C (Walkdown to Am)
how me and you could forever be.

Verse 2

--------

In need of [G]help,[C] help to ex[G]pand[C]
G D (Walkdown to Em)
with each other's minds, together to plan.

Time in our [G]lives[C], time on our [G]own[C]
so one day [G]we'll see[D] our love has [G]grown.

And when that [C]day arrives
don't know [G]where we'll be.
but I [A7]hope that trust
can [D]be for [C]us and
(Walkdown to Am)
you'll still love me.

Solo

[Am] [C] [G] [Em] [Am] [C] [G] [Em][C]
Verse 3

-------

I need some [G]help,[C] help to be [G]found[C]
G D (Walkdown to Em)
when you are alone I won't let you down.

We all need [G]time,[C] time on our [G]own[C]
so we can [G]step back, [D]see how love's [G]grown.

And when I'm [C]stepping back
hope that [G]I will see
that [A7]faith can play
D C (Walkdown to C)
a part today for both you and me.

And if [C]love needs help
and if [G]love needs time
give [A7]love the strength
to [D]walk a [C]straight line.

Walk a straight [G]line.[C]
Walk a straight [G]line.[C]
Walk a straight [G]line.[C]

I need some help[G].[C]
I need some help[G].[C][G]
