[Intro]
D A Bm G A Bm G A
[Verse 1]
So you're Don your own lookin' Adown the road
That goes Bmonly by one Gway
And you don't need the Asigns to see
BmLonely still runs both GwaysA  
[Verse 2]
So Dwho's the fool that would Athink
The ties would be Bmbetter off unGdone
Did your heart even Awarn you when you Bmveered from the path
That was GnarrowAer and Dstraight
[Chorus]
BmOn a GborderDline Asomewhere between the Dflight for freedom
AFeelin' like you can't movDe on
The Bmchore will Gbe the Dtime takes you Aoff of my mind
And Bmout of my Aheart I Gknow
And when you cross Aover there's Bmno turnin' back
Once that Gburnin' Abridge is Dgone
[Break]
D A Bm G A Bm G A     D A Bm G A Bm G A D
[Bridge]
I may Bmlose but I'm Ain it for the Glong run
Lovin' Bmyou for good Areason could be the Gwrong one
BmI don't wanna Alose conGtrol
But the Aheart won't Bmlearn to let it Gwell eAnough aDlone
[Chorus]
BmOn a GborderDline Asomewhere between the Dflight for freedom
AFeelin' like you can't movDe on
The Bmchore will Gbe the Dtime takes you Aoff of my mind
And Bmout of my Aheart I Gknow
And when you cross Aover there's Bmno turnin' back
Once that Gburnin' Abridge is Dgone
[Tag]
So you're Don your own lookin' Adown the road that goes Bmonly Aby one Gway
