Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Everybody looks so ill at ease
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
So distrustful so displeased
ch]A[/ch
Running down the table
ch]B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
I see a borderline
ch]Em/B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
Like a barbed wire fence
ch]Em/B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
Strung tight strung tense
ch]Em/B[/ch
Prickling with pretense
ch]G#m7[/ch
A borderline
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch
Why are you smirking at your friend?
ch]B[/ch
Is this to be the night when
ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
All well-wishing ends?
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
All credibility revoked?
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Thin skin thick jokes!
ch]A[/ch
Can we blame it on the smoke,
ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
This borderline?
Interlude
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Every bristling shaft of pride
ch]A[/ch
Church or nation
ch]E[/ch
Team or tribe
ch]A[/ch
Every notion we subscribe to
ch]B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
Is just a borderline
ch]Em/B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
Good or bad we think we know
ch]Em/B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
As if thinking makes things so!
ch]Em/B[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch
All convictions grow along a borderline
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch
Smug in your jaded expertise
ch]B[/ch
You scathe the wonder world
ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch
And you praise barbarity
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
In this illusionary place
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
This scared hard-edged rat race
ch]A[/ch
All liberty is laced with
ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Borderlines
Interlude
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Every income every age
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Every fashion-plated rage
ch]A[/ch
Every measure every gauge
ch]B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
Creates a borderline
ch]Em/B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
Every stone thrown through glass
ch]Em/B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
Every mean-streets-kick ass
ch]Em/B[/ch
Every swan caught on the grass
ch]G#m[/ch
Will draw a borderline
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
You snipe so steady
ch]F#[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch
You snub so snide
ch]B[/ch
So ripe and ready
ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
To diminish and deride!
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
You're so quick to condescend
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
My opinionated friend
ch]A[/ch
All you deface all you defend
ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Is just a borderline
ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Just a borderline
ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Another borderline
ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Just a borderline
