Fine Line  by  Hootie and the Blowfish

Written by Radney Foster

 INTRO:   strum on G

VERSE:

          G                                        D
There's a curve in the highway,  just south of town
           Em                                      C
Where a man has pulled over ,  to figure life out
           G                                   D
With only his conscience,   and a lonesome sound
            C
Of diesels whinin' upgrade

            G                         D
Got a wife and two kids, they love him so
            Em                                     C
Got a woman down in Charleston,  and she's starting to show
            G                                          D
And he's damned if he leaves,  and he's sure damned if he don't
            C
And he wonders how his life got this way....

CHORUS:

                    D   G        C                              D
Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
            G                                        C
                       D
Yeah he's been crossin' over that border way too long
            Em                                    D                 G
He should've seen it comin' at him right from the start
            C                                      D       G
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
             C                                      D      G

VERSE 2:

           G                                        D
Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing
            Em                                     C
Like the pull of a lover, or a child in a swing
            G                                        D
Gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring
             C
They're both gonna have his babies now

     G                           D
So how do you confess what words won't explain?
    Em                         C
He never intended to cause this much pain
    G                             D
And I feel like a farmer who's been prayin' for the rain
    C
Got more than he bargained from the clouds....

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Bm                                                 C
He'll turn his car around tonight, go home and try to face the truth
Am                 G                              D
Everyone involved's gettin' hurt and there ain't nothing 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                                                D                 G
He should've seen it comin' at him right from the start
C                                                D           G
Now there ain't no, now there ain't no escape from a

CHORUS:

D       G         C                             D
Fine Line inbetween right and wrong
G                                                    C
                      D
Yeah you've been crossin' over that border way too long
Em                                               D                   G
He should've seen it comin' at him right from the start
C                                                 D        G

Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
C                                                 D        G
Now there ain't no escapin' from a broken heart
C                                                 D          G
Yeah we're all gonna wind up with a broken heart
                  C                                          D         G
(mumbling) Nobody's gettin out without a broken heart

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
