Borderline

Intro: G G G G

G
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Cadd2
You know I thought I knew it all
G                                D
But now I see I never stopped to listen
G                   
I've been measuring the October days
Cadd2
Forgetting what the radio plays
G                                       D
And wondering if there's something I am missing

C                               G
Feels like so long since I been lyin'
C                               G
Feels like so long since I been cryin' to myself
C                               G
Feels like so long since I been tryin'
D
To lay my troubles on somebody else
G           Em
But it's so easy
D                           C
To run away into that other world of mine
G           Em
And it's so easy
D                                C
To take a little step across the borderline

G              G   
So come on in, we're starting over
G             F   C              G
Put down your money, and be like us
G              G
So come on in, and show your friends
G             F   C              G
Put down your money, and be like us

(Same progression)
Now a prophet without honor speaks
And whiles away the lonely weeks
And knows that all his fellow men are laughing
So you want to be a movie star
And drive a big red fancy car
And weave between the fallen statues crashing

Feels like so long since I been healin'
Feels like so long since I been feelin' alright
Feels like so long since I been stealin'
Away from you and out into the night

But it's so easy
(etc.)

(Jam session)

Well I can't expect for you to wait
The cavalry has come to late
And I am after all a human being
I'm gonna wait here for the sun to rise
Take a dagger and cut out both my eyes
Cause I can't fight against the things I'm seeing

And maybe someday you will see me
And maybe someday you will need me but I don't know when
And maybe someday you will free me
And pull me 'cross the borderline again

But it's so easy
(etc.)
