(Either Johnny or his guitarist continues the two-note shuffle while the chords are):
[Verse 1]
         B7                           E
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

          B7                     E
I keep my eyes wide open all the time

           A                         E
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

               B7               E
Because you're mine, I walk the line

(Then walk up to A)

[Verse 2]
          E                     A
I find it very, very easy to be true

         E                           A
I find myself alone when each day is through

            D                       A
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you

               E                A
Because you're mine, I walk the line

(Then walk up to D)

[Verse 3]
           A                        D
As sure as night is dark and day is light

           A                       D
I keep you on my mind both day and night

         G                                D
And happiness I've known proves that it's right

               A                D
Because you're mine, I walk the line

[Verse 4]
             E                      A
You've got a way to keep me on your side

            E                           A
You give me cause for love that I can't hide

          D                             A
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide

               E                A
Because you're mine, I walk the line

(And back to E again)

[Verse 5]
         B7                           E
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

          B7                     E
I keep my eyes wide open all the time

           A                         E
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

               B7               E
Because you're mine, I walk the line
