G                                                       Bm
Oh, I used to wish I was a hard line taker...and they'd say,

Bm
"Six to one a half dozen'll break her,"

      C                                            G
'Till I fell in love with a young man who sang the blues

G
Oh, bless my daddy, he warned me well

     Bm
He'd whisper in my ear and say, "Now look out, gal...

        C                                         G
There's always a ne'er do well gonna call you the fool"
[Chorus]
                 C                        G
He said, "You'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line

       C                              G
You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin'

           C              G
And it's a pity that your lover died young, but...

       Cm                        G
You'll never get tired of livin' alone."
[Verse]
G
So, now I dream of the lover that I don't know

     Bm
It's safer this way 'cuz I don't have to go...

        C                              G
Oh, and he won't come...so nobody goes away

G
Sometimes I wish for the warmth of his hand

       Bm
Take a look in these eyes and understand

           C                                                G
I'm just a little too old to be a-learnin' the rules of the game
[Chorus]
                 C                        G
He said, "You'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line

       C                              G
You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin'

           C              G
And it's a pity that your lover died young, but...

       Cm                        G
You'll never get tired of livin' alone."
[Solo/Break] G Bm C G G Bm C G [Verse]
G
Oh, maybe I could take him to Mexico

     Bm
We'd kick our heels in the warm cloudy gulf

            C
He'd sing a song about the weather in the Poconos;

G
This lover that I don't know

G
Then two hearts would pound 'stead of one in the night

    Bm
I'd learn to fish with my own line

           C                              G
Catch that dream and hope that line would hold
[Chorus]
                 C                        G
He said, "You'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line

       C                              G
You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin'

           C              G
And it's a pity that your lover died young, but...

       Cm                        G
You'll never get tired of livin' alone."

      Cm                        G
No, I never get tired of livin' alone

             Cm                              G
Sometimes my feet get cold...when I'm livin' alone...
