Back On The Borderline

A   E     G   D     A   E     G   D


[Verse 1]
         A       E            
From the bar to the bedroom I'm 
   G          D        A   E     
swimming in the neon
G   D

         A          E        
Lighted pictures of a redhead, 
   G           D        A   E    
plasticoated hot on
 G   D

    F                   G/F
And sometimes when that mirror shows
    E             Am
The smile of disbelief
       F              G/F
Stained signature of nightmares
        Dm6            E       Em   
   F#  N.C.
They're stolen by the thief


[Chorus]
                B             Em
I'm back on the borderline
A        F#          B           
Yes, I'm back on the borderline
 Em          A     F#



[Interlude]
A   E     G   D     A   E     G   D


Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
       A        E          G     
By the end make a bet and only 
    D
place is laminex
A         E      G        D
Hey touch wood, she looks good
A        E            G    
Laugh a lot cry a lot salt and 
          D
pepper supper sex
A   E     G    D
Alright, I'm high
    F                   G/F       
And sometimes when that magic of 
    E
the moment
          Am
Fails the test
   F               G/F
In retrospect that diamond day
        Dm6             E
Did not make second best
      G              A/G
And sometimes when a thousand voices
F#                        Bm
Tell you that you're wrong
  G
A saint in any form
A/G             Em        F# N.C.
Becomes a sinner all along


[Chorus]
                B             Em
I'm back on the borderline
A        F#          B           
Yes, I'm back on the borderline
 Em          A     F#



[Instrumental]
B      Em   A   F# x3
B5     E5    A5  F#5
B5     E5


[Chorus]
                B             Em
I'm back on the borderline
A        F#          B           
Yes, I'm back on the borderline
 Em          A     F#

                B             Em
I'm back on the borderline
A        F#          B           
Yes, I'm back on the borderline
 Em          A     F#
