Across the Borderline

There's a place where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
And when it's time to take your turn
Here's a lesson that you must learn
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find

When you [A7ɾeach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know that it's too late to [C7]change your mind
'Cause you've paid the price to [C7]come so far
Just to [C7]wind up where you [A7are
And you're still just across the borderline

Up and [Bm]down the Rio Grande
A thousand [Bm]footprints in the sand
Reveal a secret no one can define
(Como aire el ɾío fluye)
The ɾiver flows on [C7]like [F]a breath
In between our life and [Bm]death
Tell me who'll be [Am]next to [C7]cross the borderline

En la tɾiste oscuridad
Hoy tenemos que cruzar
Este ɾío que nos llama mas allá
But hope ɾemains when pride is gone
And it keeps you [A7moving on
Calling you [A7across the borderline

When you [A7ɾeach the broken promised land
Every dream slips through your hands
And you'll know it's too late to [C7]change your mind
'Cause you [A7pay the price to [C7]come so far
Just to [C7]wind up where you [A7are
And you're still just across the borderline
Now you're still just across the borderline
