Borderline chords by Ed Sheeran

Tuning: Standard

🎸 Verse :

Dmaj7    Eadd6           A    Dmaj7
 Sadness always finds an in
B7sus2      Eadd6      A            Dmaj7
 Sneaks its way past infecting everything


B7sus2     Eadd6          A    Dmaj7
 And every chapter has an end
B7sus2       Eadd6
 But this is one momentous
A                Dmaj7
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
Right now I feel I’m running
         D
from the light
  A         Esus4
Engulfed in darkness,
                 D
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 :

Dmaj7           Eadd6            A    Dmaj7
 Guess I should take this on the chin
B7sus2       Eadd6
 But I don’t even know
    A             Dmaj7
how all of this began
B7sus2  Eadd6            A     Dmaj7
 We are made to mould and bend
B7sus2     Eadd6            A
 How can I wish for nothing when
             Dmaj7
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




🎸 Verse :

Dmaj7      Eadd6        A    Dmaj7
 So I will pour another drink
B7sus2      Eadd6
 And try to drown the pain with
A              Dmaj7
salt along the rim
B7sus2         Eadd6
 And I’ll shut off the things
 A     Dmaj7
I think
B7sus2       Eadd6
‘Coz nothing good will
      A             Dmaj7
ever come from worrying


🎸 Chorus:

D      A     Esus4
 Right now I feel I’m running
         D
from the light
  A         Esus4
Engulfed in darkness

                 D
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
