[Intro]
Cadd9 F Em7 F
Cadd9 F Em7 F
Cadd9
I'm standing on the borderline
Am
What should I bring or leave behind
F
From who I was
G
For who I'm gonna be?
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 Am
I still haven't packed my bags
Cadd9
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
G Cadd9 Am
I just won't arrive quite as fast
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 Am
I'm thinking way back
Cadd9
To where I'm from
Am
To the things I had
F
I feel I've forgotten something
G
Iâm sure that it's probably nothing
G Cadd9 G
But that's based more on fear than on fact
[Chorus]
Cadd9
I'm standing on the borderline
Am
Between two states- I'm petrified
Am Cadd9
To push ahead or turn back homewardly
[Verse 3]
Cadd9 Am
I'm a shadow of the past
Cadd9
The shadow of a boy
Am
A boy who couldn't last
F
They said: "Son, don't change"
G G Cadd9 Am
And I keep hoping they won't see how much I have
[Verse 4]
Cadd9 Am
A feeling's not a thing you own
Cadd9
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
G Cadd9 G
I might've abandoned them both
[Chorus]
Cadd9
I'm standing on the borderline
Am
Between two states-- I'm petrified
Cadd9
I'm standing on the borderline
Am
What should I bring or leave behind
F
From who I was
G Em7
For who I'm gonna be?
[Bridge]
G Bm Cadd9
I'd like to say: "I'm the same person from yesterday
G
Nothing's changed"
G Bm Cadd9
'Cause yesterday I was eager to see what awaited
G
I wasn't jaded
G Bm Em7
But no!
Cadd9
I can't go back
G
Youth seemed sweeter
Bm Em7
But if I could return, all I've learned would be forfeit
Cadd9 G Bm Em7 Cadd9 G Bm Em7 Cadd9
I won't go back
[Outro]
G Bm
I'm followed by the borderline as I pace forward in my life
Em7 Cadd9 G
Seeking the times I'll long for once they leave me
