[F#m] [G] [D]
[D]
[A] [D]
[A] [A] [D]
There's a place [A] where I've been [D] told
[G] Every street [A] is [D]
hateful
And it's just [Bm] across the [A] borderline
[Em] [D] [A]
[D] And when it's time [A] to take your [D] turn
Here's a lesson [G] that you must learn
[Em] [D] You could lose more [A] than you ever [Bm] [A] hoped to [D] find
When [Bm] you [D] reach the [G] broken [D]
progress plan
[G] And every dream [Em]
[D] slips through your hands
[A] [D] Then you'll know [C#m] that it's [Bm] too late [G] to change your [A] mind
[G]
[A] [F#m] [D] Cause [G] you'll take [A] the [G] price [D] to come so far
[G] [A] Just to [G] wind [Bm] up where [Em] you are
[D] And you'll be still [A] just across the [D] borderline
Up [G]
[D] [D] and down [A] the Rio [D] Grande
[G] Thousand [A] footprints [D] in the sand
Revealing secrets [Bm] no one [A] can define
[G] The [A] [D] river flows on [A] [D] like a breath
In between [G] our life [Em] and death
[D] Tell me, who's the [A] next to cross the [D] borderline?
[A] [D] Tell me
[A] [D] [G]
[A] [Bm] [D] [A]
[Bm] [G] [A] [G]
[A] [D]
[A] [D]
[G] [Em] [D] [A]
En [D]
la triste [A] [D] oscuridad
[G] [Em] Hoy tenemos [A] [D] que cruzar este río
[Bm] Que nos [A] llama [F#m] más [Em] allá
[A] But [D] hope remains when pride is gone
And it keeps [G] you [Em] moving on
[D] Calling you
[A] across the [D] borderline
[A]
[D] And when you [Bm] [Em] reach the [D] broken progress plan
[G] Every dream [D] slips through your [A] hands
[D] And you'll know [F#m]
[Bm] it's too late [A] to change your [Em] mind
[A] Cause [G] you'll take [A] the [D] price to come so far
[G] Just [A] to [G] wind up [Bm] where [G] [Em] you are
[D] And you'll be still just [A] across [G] the [D] borderline
[G] Now [D] you're still just [A] across the [D] borderline
[D] [A]
[D] [F#m] [Em] [D]
