Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Difficulty: Novice Intro: C I'm standing on the borderline Am What should I bring or leave behind F From who I was G For who I'm gonna be? Verse 1: C Am I still haven't packed my bags C It's time to go Am And I could not care less F So now, I'll miss the train G A walk's still progress made C Am I just won't arrive quite as fast
Verse 2: C Am I'm thinking way back C To where I'm from Am To the things I had F I feel I've forgotten something G I'm sure that it's probably nothing C G But that's based more on fear than on fact Chorus: C I'm standing on the borderline Am Between two states- I'm petrified C To push ahead or turn back homewardly
Verse 3: C Am I'm a shadow of the past C The shadow of a boy Am A boy who couldn't last F They said: "Son, don't change" G C Am And I keep hoping they won't see how much I have Verse 4: C Am A feeling's not a thing you own C But it can be lost Am I just want to be home F 'Cause home's where the heart is G And when I departed C G I might've abandoned them both Chorus: C I'm standing on the borderline Am Between two states-- I'm petrified C I'm standing on the borderline Am What should I bring or leave behind F From who I was G Em For who I'm gonna be? Bridge: G Bm C I'd like to say: "I'm the same person from yesterday G Nothing's changed" G Bm C 'Cause yesterday I was eager to see what awaited G I wasn't jaded G Bm Em But no! C I can't go back G Youth seemed sweeter Bm Em But if I could return, all I've learned would be forfeit C G Bm Em C G Bm Em C I won't go back Outro: G* Bm* I'??m followed by the borderline as I pace forward in my life Em* C* G* Seeking the times I'll long for once they leave me
