Cm                    A#
You must be lost in a faraway land
Gm                      G#
I searched forever your footprints in the sand
Fm                  Gm
I feel you need me, I have to answer
G#                         A#
That desperate call that I do not understand

Cm                A#
A burning bridge, a lonely highway
Gm                 G#
Another dark night thinking alone
Fm                      Gm
What could've happened, am I just dreaming
G#                            A#
It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know

Chorus:
           Cm      A#     Cm
If I could make it to the border
           Cm      A#     Cm
If I could make it to the coast
           D#      A#     Gm
If I could make it to the border
       G#                 A#              Cm
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

Cm          G#      A#  Gm  G#          A#       G#
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
A#             Cm
Make it to the border

So on and on I keep on running
To make the border before the light
Just one more river, then I can make it
Again you'll be in my arms tonight

Chorus

Cm          G#      A#  Gm  G#          A#        G#
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
A#             Cm
Make it to the border
Cm          G#      A#  Gm  G#          A#        G#
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
A#             Cm
Make it to the border

Chorus

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border ...
