[Verse 1]
<b class="chord">B7</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
<b class="chord">B7</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
<b class="chord">B7</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
Because you're mine, I walk the line
(Then walk up to A)

[Verse 2]
<b class="chord">E7</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
I find it very, very easy to be true
<b class="chord">E7</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
I find myself alone when each day is through
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
<b class="chord">E7</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Because you're mine, I walk the line
(Then walk up to D)

[Verse 3]
<b class="chord">A7</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
As sure as night is dark and day is light
<b class="chord">A7</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
I keep you on my mind both day and night
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
<b class="chord">A7</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
Because you're mine, I walk the line
(Back down to A)

[Verse 4]
<b class="chord">E7</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
You've got a way to keep me on your side
<b class="chord">E7</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
<b class="chord">E7</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Because you're mine, I walk the line
(And back to E again)
