Walk a Straight Line
--------------------
 
Intro -- "Walkdown" to Am, see notes at end
 
 
            G     C           G      C
I need some help.   Help to decide.
            G         D            (Walkdown to Em)
Whether its our love, steps out of time.
 
            G    C             G      C
You say you need, time on your own
        G         D             G
time to accept how our love has grown.
 
             C
And when you think about
        G
all the bad in me
       A7
think about this too
    D      C                 (Walkdown to Am)
how me and you could forever be.
 
 
Verse 2
--------
           G    C          G    C
In need of help, help to expand
          G             D            (Walkdown to Em)
with each other's minds, together to plan.
 
            G    C              G    C
Time in our lives,  time on our own
           G        D             G
so one day we'll see our love has grown.
 
              C
And when that day arrives
           G
don't know where we'll be.
      A7
but I hope that trust
    D      C
can be for us and
                 (Walkdown to Am)
you'll still love me.
 
Solo
 
Am  C    G    Em    Am    C    G     Em C
 
Verse 3
-------
            G    C             G       C
I need some help,   help to be found
         G         D                   (Walkdown to Em)
when you are alone I won't let you down.
 
            G    C             G    C
We all need time,  time on our own
          G          D              G
so we can step back, see how love's grown.
 
             C
And when I'm stepping back
          G
hope that I will see
     A7
that faith can play
  D      C                    (Walkdown to C)
a part today for both you and me.
 
       C
And if love needs help
       G
and if love needs time
     A7
give love the strength
   D      C
to walk a straight line.
 
                G      C
Walk a straight line.
                G      C
Walk a straight line.
                G      C
Walk a straight line.
 
                G      C
I need some help.
                G      C      G
I need some help.
