I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
4  4   4   -4   -4  -4 5   5  -4   4
I keep my eyes wide op-en all the time
4  -4   5   -5  -5  -5  -6   6   -5    5
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
-4   4    -3     3   -4  4   -3   4
Be-cause you're mine, I walk the line


4  4   4  -4-4 -4-4  -4 5 5  -4  4
I find it very, very easy to be true
4  4   4  -4  -4 -4   4   5   5   -4    4
I find myself alone when each day is through
 4    -4  5 -5  -5  -5  -6   6   -5  5
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
-4   4   -3     3    -4  4   -3   4
Because you're mine, I walk the line


4   4   4   -4   -4  -4   5   5  -4  4
As sure as night is dark and day is light
4  4   4   -4 -4  -4    5   5  -4   4
I keep you on my mind both day and night
4    5 5  -5   -5    5     4     -4   4   -4
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
-4   4    -3     3   -4  4   -3   4
Because you're mine, I walk the line


  4    4   4  -4 -4  -4  5  5  -4    4
You've got a way to keep me on your side
 4   4   4   -4   -4   -4   5   5  -4   4
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
4   -4  5  -5  -5 -5 -5 -6   6  -5   5   5
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
-4   4    -3     3   -4  4   -3   4

Because you're mine, I walk the line 


4  4   4  -4     -4  -4  5    5    -4  4
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
4  4   4   -4   -4  -4 5   5  -4   4
I keep my eyes wide op-en all the time
4  -4   5   -5  -5  -5  -6   6   -5    5
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
-4   4    -3     3   -4  4   -3   4
Be-cause you're mine, I walk the line
