Borderland by John Mark McMillan
Borderland
Capo:no capo
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
