PART 3 ("Toe the Line II") [Verse 1]
    Em7
The darkness of the day

  A7
A curse in every way

    Em7
You try to see the light

                   A7
But you don't know why, don't know why

     Em7
They tell you on the phone

   A7
To give your God a bone

    Cadd9                            G
And grow a set of wings like a butterfly
[Verse 2]
    Em7
The guardian at the gate

  A7
Reminds you that you're late

    Em7
You try to take your time

                A7
But you toe the line, toe the line.

   Em7
To children of the world

    A7
And daddy's little girl

    Cadd9                                G
The grass is always greener on the other side

So stay and breathe new life

Everything is moving faster than you think

            E7             B7
Your pen is running out of ink

             E7               B7
Fill up your bath and kitchen sink

They're really kicking up a stink

You should be happy in the pink

You're in demand but out of sync

Once more my dear friends to the brink
