I'm standing in the station

I'm waiting for a train

to take me to the border

and my loved one's far away

I watch a bunch of soldiers

heading for the war

D Am G

I could hardly even beare to see them go

Rolling through the country side G

tears are in my eyes D

we're coming to the borderline Am

I'm ready with my lies Em

and in the early morning rain D

I see her there Em

and I know I have to say good by again D Am G -D

CHORUS: And it's breaking my heart

I know what I must do

I hear my country call me

but I wanna be with you

I'm taking my side

one of us will loose

don't let go I wanna know

F Em Am

that you will wait for me until the day

Em Am Em D

- -

there's no borderline, no borderline

Walking passed the border quards G

reaching for her hand D

showing no emotion Am

I wanna break into a run Em

but these are only boys D

and I will know Em

how man can see the wisdom in a war D Am G

(REPEAT CHORUS)

G Em Am D G Em Am F Em Am Em Am Em D
