Intro: D   D/C   G/B   Bb
       D   D/C   G/B   Bb

D                       D/C           G/B     Bb7
I been pulled out by my roots so many times
D                B7        E7        A     A+  
Rollin' down the road on a dare or a dime
Bm           G                   D      D+
Saw that the dog got lost in the shine 
E7                   A                 A7
I always find myself back on the borderline


CHORUS:
   D    D7        G       Bb
My home is on the border
     D    D7             G        Bb7
It's made of stickes and stones
   D    D7        G     E7
My home is on the borderline
D         B7        E7
Where the wild bird moans
A7      D      D/C   G/B   Bb   D   D/C   G/B   Bb
How she moans

D                    D/C               G/B    Bb7
This place is like a circus 'round the clock
D                  B7           E7                 A      A+
Attackers roam the streets, the doors ain't got no locks
Bm             G                        D    D+
The poets, the thieves, the ballerina's cat
E7                                A                  A7
Knockin' down the preacher's wine over at the border dry


[repeat CHORUS]

D                  D/C             G/B            Bb7
Met the preacher's daughter at the wishing well
D                   B7             E7         A     A+
We made bittersweet love while the black rain fell
Bm           G                          D     D+
Her long red hair and those crazy green eyes
E7                      A                 A7
Always find her dancing back on the borderline


[repeat CHORUS]
