[Verse 1]
Dmaj7    Eadd6           A    Dmaj7
 Sadness always finds an in
B7sus2      Eadd6          A            Dmaj7
 Sneaks its way past and infecting everything
B7sus2     Eadd6          A    Dmaj7
 And every chapter has an end
B7sus2       Eadd6         A                Dmaj7
 But this is one momentous sequel don’t you think?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Dmaj7           Eadd6
And the blackbirds they fly
       A             Dmaj7
Like a frown on the skyline
 
 
[Chorus]
D     A     Esus4                     D
Right now I feel I’m running from the light
  A         Esus4                      D
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
    A            Esus4
One foot in, one out, I’m stuck on the borderline
D      A        Esus4
 Which way will I?
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7           Eadd6            A    Dmaj7
 Guess I should take this on the chin
B7sus2       Eadd6         A             Dmaj7
 But I don’t even know how all of this began
B7sus2  Eadd6            A     Dmaj7
 We are made to mould and bend
B7sus2     Eadd6            A                 Dmaj7
 How can I wish for nothing when it’s still a sin?
 
 
[Chorus]
D      A     Esus4                     D
 Right now I feel I’m running from the light
  A         Esus4                      D
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
    A            Esus4
One foot in, one out, I’m stuck on the borderline
D      A        Esus4
 Which way will I?
 
 
[Bridge]
Bm     A       Esus4
 Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
Bm  A      Esus4
 We are so blind
F#m      Esus4        D
 Waiting on the borderline
F#m      Esus4        D
 Waiting on the borderline
 
 
[Verse3]
Dmaj7      Eadd6        A    Dmaj7
 So I will pour another drink
B7sus2      Eadd6               A              Dmaj7
 And try to drown the pain with salt along the rim
B7sus2         Eadd6           A     Dmaj7
 And I’ll shut off the things I think
B7sus2       Eadd6          A              Dmaj7
‘Coz nothing good will ever come from worrying
 
 
[Chorus]
D      A     Esus4                     D
 Right now I feel I’m running from the light
  A         Esus4                      D
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
    A            Esus4
One foot in, one out, I’m stuck on the borderline
D      A        Esus4
 Which way will I?
 
 
[Outro]
Bm     A       Esus4
 Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
Bm  A      Esus4
 We are so blind
              Sadness always finds an in
Sneaks its way past, infecting everything
And every chapter has an end
But this is one momentous sequel, don't you think?

And the blackbirds, they fly
Like a frown on the skyline

Right now, I feel I'm running from the light
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?

Guess I should take this on the chin
But I don't even know how all of this began
We are made to mold and bend
How can I wish for nothing when it's still a sin?

And right now, I feel I'm running from the light
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?
Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
We are so blind
Waiting on the borderline
Waiting on the borderline

So, I will pour another drink
And try to drown the pain with salt along the rim
And I'll shut off the things I think
'Cause nothing good will ever come from worrying

Right now, I feel I'm running from the light
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?
Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
We are so blind
