On The Borderline Uke tab by Thomas Sanders

[Intro]

C F G

C       F  C
Ooo-Aoh-Aohhh-oooh
F        C
 I'm standing on the borderline
            Am
What should I bring or leave behind

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    G
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
                 G
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    G
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 mm

[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

From who I was
    G
For who I'm gonna be?

[Bridge]
 C
mmmm
         G                     D                 C
I’d like to say: “I’m the same person from yesterday

Nothing’s changed”
             G           D                   C
‘Cause yesterday I was eager to see what awaited

I wasn’t jaded
    G    D     Fm
But no! Aoh Aooohhh
G          C
I can’t go back
      G
Youth seemed sweeter
                       D                            G
But if I could return, all I’ve learned would be forfeit
           C
I won’t go back
G      D      C          G   D      G        C
Aaaaaa Aoh Aooohhh-woahh Ooh Aoh Aooohhh-ohh

[Outro]
       G                          D
I’m followed by the borderline as I pace forward in my life
  C                                       Cm      G
Seeking the times I’ll long for once they leave me
