Lines Upon Your Face

Standard Tuning - Capo 3 


Intro: Am, D, G, C 


Am              D          G         C 
A small group of boys walks down the street 
Am         D           G   C 
Throwing a ball in the air 
Am          D                 G              C 
One says to another, hey I'll always be your brother 
Am      D           G 
I'll always be your friend

          G     D        C               Am 
Do you remember when we thought we were immortal 
        G        D             C           D 
And the games we played always had a happy end 
           G       D            C     Am 
But in the game of life all the roses wither 
    G    D           C               G 
And time writes it's lines upon your face... 
--------------------
 

Summer's here and three young men 
Drive through the town in the night air 
When fall comes they'll part again 
One turns to another and he says 

Chorus 

It's 3 AM and he's been feeling lonely 
Work's been hard, and the city's hard too 
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country      
A brother listens to his blues, he says 

Chorus 

Bridge: 
G         Am     C        D 
Lift your voices loud and clearly 
G        Am     C          D 
Sing for brotherhood right now 
G         Am     C        D 
Lift your voices loud and clearly 
G        Am    C          G 
Sing for sisterhood right now

 Alternate Chorus: 
            G  D         C        Am 
Sometimes I wish that we all were immortal 
        G        D             C           D 
And the games we played always had a happy end 
      G             D       C          Am 
But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing 
    G        D       C       D            G 
But I'm just glad to spend my time...with you
