C   G Am    G    F      G C

[Verse]
                   G         C     F
There's a land, so I've been told
                      G          C
Where every street is paved with gold
                Am             G        C
And it's just beyond the borderline
                  G         C     F
When it's time to take your turn
                 G        C
There's a lesson you must learn
                            G            C     F G C
You will lose more than you ever hope to find

[Chorus]
         C         G      C              F
When you reach the broken promised land
      G                        C
Every dream slips through your hand, and you'll know
G        Am                 G
It's too late to change your mind
           F        G        C              F
'Cause you paid the price to come this far
G               Am
Just to wind up where you are
           C           G               C     F G C
And you're still just across the borderline

[Instrumental]
C    G  C  F    G
C      Am    G
C    G  C  F    G
C      G    C  F G C

[Verse]
                G   C       F
Up and down the Rio Grande
                      G      C
A thousand footprints in the sand
                  Am           G         C
Reveal the secret no one can define
                   G      C       F
The river rolls on like a breath
               G        C
In between our life and death
                          G               C     F G C
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

[Chorus]
         C         G      C              F
When you reach the broken promised land
      G                        C
Every dream slips through your hand, and you'll know
G        Am                 G
It's too late to change your mind
           F        G        C              F
'Cause you paid the price to come this far
G               Am
Just to wind up where you are
           C           G               C     F
And you're still just across the borderline
           C           G               C     F G C
And you're still just across the borderline
