Borderland
Composição de (John Mark McMillan)
E 
Living in the borderland 
           B 
I don’t feel like a boy, I don’t feel like a man 
           E 
In the things I don’t understand 
                C#m              B 
Things like love, like the law 
                         E 
Like the law of the jungle 
E 
Are we all animals 
Are we all animals sharpening 
Our teeth and claws 
B 
Stocking up on cannonballs 
E 
Living like nobody knows 
                      B       C#m 
They can’t hold on to love 
                    B                    E 
And live by the law, the law of the jungle 

E 
Help me Holy Jesus 
                A 
Won’t you show me how to live 
E 
I’ve got monsters at my table 
           A 
I’ve got Bibles bent like shivs 
E 
Help me Holy Lord 
            A 
I see the light of heaven’s porch 
      E 
But so many of us are born here 
A 
Outside your chain link fence 


E                             -A 
Living in the borderland 
                E 
You gotta fend for yourself, 
                                A 
Let the dogs eat the other man 
E                                  -A 
Living in the borderland 
              B 
You gotta take what you get, 
                        A 
Gotta get what you can 

E 
Are we all dangerous 
Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up 
    B 
Pockets full of fairy dust 
E 
Suffering the wanderlust 
                B                  C#m 
They all get crushed without love 
            B                     E 
By the law, the law of the jungle 

(Interlude: E-A-B-C#m) 
(Return to Chorus, then) 

E                           -A 
Living in the borderland 
                       E 
Are you going to fight like a boy, 
                     A 
Gonna run like a man 
E                           -A 
Living in the borderland 
           E 
Gotta take what you get, 
                           A 
Gotta get what you can 
                       C#m 
But you can’t hold on 
                      B 
Can’t hold on to love 
                  C#m 
You can’t hold on 
              B 
You can’t hold on and live 
             E - A  
By the Law 

Outro: E-A-B-C#m repeated, then E-A repeated
