intro: E Esus
E B7 E
There's a place where I've been told
D A
Every street is paved with gold
E C#m B
And it's just across the borderline
E B7 E
And when it's time to take your turn
E D A
Here's one lesson that you must learn
E B7 E
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find
When you reach the bro-ken promised land
A E
And every dream slips through your hands
C#m B7
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
A E
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
B7 E
Just to wind up where you are
B7 E
And you're still just across the borderline

E A E
Up and down the Rio Grande
D A
A thousand footprints in the sand
E C#m B7
Reveal a secret no one can define
E B7 E
The river flows on like a breath
D A
In between our life and death
E B7 E
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

When you reach the bro-ken promised land

And every dream slips through your hands

Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
