Dmaj7   E               A Dmaj7
Sadness always finds an in
Dmaj7       E           A           Dmaj7
Sneaks its way past, infecting everything
Bm          E            A Dmaj7
And every chapter has an end
Bm          E              A                Dmaj7
But this is one momentous sequel, don't you think?

         Bm               E
And the blackbirds they fly
         A             Dmaj7
Like a frown on the skyline

Chorus:
D      A     Esus4                     D
Right now I feel I’m running from the light
   A         Esus4                      D
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
     A           Esus4
One foot in, one out, I’m stuck on the borderline
D      A       Esus4
Which way will I?

Guess I should take this on the chin
But I don't even know how all of this began
And we are made to mould and bend
How can I wish for nothing when it's still a sin?

Chorus:
And right now, I feel I'm runnin' from the light
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?

Bm     A       Esus4
Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
Bm  A      Esus4
We are so blind
F#m     Esus4         D
Waiting on the borderline
F#m     Esus4         D
Waiting on the borderline

So I will pour another drink
And try to drown the pain with salt along the rim
And I'll shut off the things I think
'Cause nothing good will ever come from worrying

Chorus:
Right now, I feel I'm runnin' from the light
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?

Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
We are so blind
