Borderline

capo: 1st fret

[intro]

C Dm Am  F

  C   Dm   Am  F
( u-u-uh - u-u-uh )
  C   Dm   Am  F
( u-u-uh - u-u-uh )

[verse (1)]

C            Dm
  i was right--there's only one of you
Am                  F
  you dance through life to your own tune
C                 Dm
  you’re beautiful-- and complicated too
Am        F
  a fancy room with a bad view

[pre-chorus]

C           Dm                       Am
  and i know--that you know it's not easy
           F                       C
Fighting battles that live in your mind
              Dm                    Am
But you're close to the edge, i can feel it
        F
Every time that we say good night

[chorus]

C                  Dm               Am
  you hide your feelings so i won’t cry
                 F                   C
But i'll keep waiting at the borderline
                 Dm                  Am
And when you're ready to change your mind
                F                  C
Then i'll be waiting at the borderline
  C   Dm  Am  F
( u-u-uh  u-u-uh )
  C   Dm   Am  F
( u-u-uh - u-u-uh )

[verse (2)]

C                   Dm             Am
  you live your life--like a firework
               F                        C
You soar right up 'til you're fit to burst
             Dm                    Am
And here i am--standing on the ground
              F
My hands held high, i won't let you down

[pre-chorus]

C          Dm                       Am
  and i know that you know it's not easy
           F                       C
Fighting battles that live in your mind
              Dm                     Am
But you're close to the edge, i can feel it
        F
Every time that we say good night

[chorus]

C                 Dm                Am
  you hide your feelings so i won’t cry
                 F                   C
But i'll keep waiting at the borderline
                 Dm                  Am
And when you're ready to change your mind
                F
Then i'll be waiting at the borderline

[bridge]

C                     Dm
  in my head, in your head
                  Am
It's a little bit mixed up
      F                      C
In my head it's a little bit quiet
    Dm                      Am        F
Sometimes it’s a little bit harder to fight
  C   Dm  Am  F
( u-u-uh  u-u-uh )
  C   Dm  Am  F
( u-u-uh  u-u-uh )

[chorus]

C                  Dm               Am
  you hide your feelings so i won’t cry
                 F                   C
But i'll keep waiting at the borderline
                   Dm                Am
And when you're ready to change your mind
                F                   C
Then i'll be waiting at the borderline
