Borderline Uke tab by Thomas Sanders

INTRO

C Am F G
C     Am             F       G
Ohhhh Oh ohh Oh ohhh ooooo   oooooo

CHORUS

C
I'm standing on the borderline
G    Am
What should I bring or leave behind,
F
From who I was,
G
For who I'm gonna be?

VERSE

C                      G  Am
I still haven't packed my bags
          G  C
It's time to go
                G    Am
And I could not care less
             F
So now, I'll miss the train
               G
A walk's still progress made,
                             C    G
I just won't arrive quite as fast


C            G   Am
I'm thinking way back
         G   C
To where I'm from
              G Am
To the things I had
            F
I feel I've forgotten something
                   G
I'm sure that it's probably nothing
                                      C
But that's based more on fear than on fact

CHORUS

C
I'm standing on the borderline
G Am
Between two states, I'm petrified
   F             G
To push ahead or turn back homewardly

VERSE

C            G      Am
I'm a shadow of the past
           G    C
The shadow of a boy,
          G        Am
A boy who couldn't last
           F
They said: "Son, don't change"
           G                                C
And I keep hoping they won't see how much I have

                        G   Am
A feeling's not a thing you own
           G  C
But it can be lost
               G  Am
I just want to go home
                        F
‘Cause home's where the heart is
           G
And when I departed,
                          
I might've abandoned them both

CHORUS

C
I'm standing on the borderline
G Am
Between two states, I'm petrified
C
I'm standing on the borderline,
G    Am
What should I bring or leave behind
F
From who I was
G
For who I'm gonna be?

BRIDGE

G                         D                      F
I'd like to say, "I'm the same person from Yesterday,
          C
Nothing's changed,"
G                      D                 F
‘Cause Yesterday I was eager to see what awaited,
         C
I wasn't jaded
G      D     F
But no!
           C
I can't go back
G
Youth seemed sweeter
               D                                 F
But if I could return, all I've learned would be forfeit
           C
I won't go back

G                                 D
I'm followed by the borderline as I pace forward in my life
F                      C                                  G
Seeking the times I'll long for once they leave me
