Intro: FCFCGFC
She sits and stares into space
GFDm
He's wearing the same old face
CGDm
She hates him half the time
CGC
And swears he doesn't mind
GFC
No kind word, no fond embrace
GFC
She says they don't talk enough
GFDm
He feels like she talks too much
CGDm
She cites her years of patience
CGC
In all their conversations
GF
He sits down, turns TV up
Chorus:
CGC
She's talking, but he's not listening
Dm7GF
He's heard it a thousand times
CGCF
He tells her, but she don't hear him
CDm7GCFC
She listens between the lines___
GFC
She points out things they drive by
GFDm
He speaks, but not in reply
CGDm
Their conversation ranges
CGC
From nil to terse exchanges
GF
And she says, it's useless to try
Chorus:
CGC
She's talking, but he's not listening
Dm7GF
He's heard it a thousand times
CGCF
He tells her, but she don't hear him
CDm7GCFCF
She listens between the lines___
Bridge:
C
If there was love in this house, it's missing by now
FCG
They're walking in two directions
C
And nothing can clear the static in here
FCGF
Oh, talk about bad connections
Chorus:
CGC
She's talking, but he's not listening
Dm7G
'Cause he's heard it a thousand times
FCGC
And he swears he tells her, but she don't hear him
FCDm7GC
Damn, she listens between the lines___
