A E G D A E G D
[Verse 1]
A E G D A E G D
From the bar to the bedroom I'm swimming in the neon
A E G D A E G D
Lighted pictures of a redhead, plasticoated hot on
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 Em A F#
Yes, I'm back on the borderline
[Interlude]
A E G D A E G D
[Verse 2]
A E G D
By the end make a bet and only place is laminex
A E G D
Hey touch wood, she looks good
A E G D
Laugh a lot cry a lot salt and pepper supper sex
A E G D
Alright, I'm high
F G/F E
And sometimes when that magic of 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 Em A F#
Yes, I'm back on the borderline
[Instrumental]
B Em A F# x3
B5 E5 A5 F#5

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