THE BORDER OF TOMORROW
C G Am
When you’re swaying at the top of the mountain
Looking out across the places that you’ve been
You will see it was worth falling
Without the climb you’d never see how beautiful this life could be
Am Em F x2
You’re too far to go back
Now that you’re standing at the border of tomorrow
C F C F Am F C
The border of tomorrow
Trust your heart unchained
A wild horse can’t be tamed
At the border of tomorrow
C G Am
At a standstill alongside the freeway
Trying to gather courage to begin
In the rush hour of a Friday
As I put the gear in motion all my fears go up in smoke
Am Em F x2
You’re too far to go back
Now that I'm standing at the border of tomorrow
C F C F Am F C
The border of tomorrow
Trust your heart unchained
A wild horse can’t be tamed
At the border of tomorrow
F C G
<bridge>
Change will never change anytime soon
But that’s what I am going to do
At the border of tomorrow
The border of tomorrow
Ready for what will follow
Ah ah
Happiness and sorrow
At the border of tomorrow.
Ah Ah
The border of tomorrow

Unconditional
04:33

You get in a car
We drive back to reality
It's a dream
I wanna touch you, I wanna see you
So inviting, so enticing
Just to chase the sun out west to be with you
Someone who knows me. Someone who loves me.
Unconditional. Unconditional.
I have a theory
I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall
I always knew it. Work my way through it.
Just to stay one step ahead of pending rain
There it is!
Something to move me. Something to soothe me.
Unconditional.
We have a history
We met when life was charmed and fun and young
I wanna see it. I want to feel it.
So inviting. So enticing.
Just for one more day
To kick it back with you
People who knew me. People who love me.
Unconditional. Unconditional.
You bought a used guitar
You're writing songs to find your way to God
You wanna touch her. You wanna see her
So inviting. So enticing
Just to live your life for days
And pray you will
Someone who loves you. Someone who wants you.
Unconditional. Unconditional.
You bought a used guitar. You're writing songs.
Keep writing songs.

Light of Day
02:16

Gonna dig myself up outta this hole
Outta this hole one day
Gonna dig myself up outta this hole
Back into the light of day
Been too long down here in this hole
Mother can you hear me pray
I said, I've been too long down here in this hole
Now I long for the light of day
I'm gonna scratch and claw
Till my fingers bleed
Till I find me some air
That I can breathe
I'm gonna keep digging
Till I dig my way
Dig my way back into the light of day
Ain't nobody's fault but my own
Father can you hear me pray
I said it ain't nobody's fault but my own
For burning out the light of day
You see me and the devil had us quite a run
We ran hard night and day
Until one day the bottle ran dry
And the devil took the light of day
I'm gonna scratch and claw
Till my fingers bleed
Till I find me some air
That I can breathe
I'm gonna keep digging till I dig my way
Dig my way back into the light of day
Dig my way back into the light of day

Train
03:44
|

|
Train of love where have you gone
You haven't stopped here in so long
It's just a suitcase and this old guitar
And half a dozen songs
Oh train of love where have you gone
Train of hope where did you go
i long to hear your whistle blow
I've paid my dues I've righted my wrongs
Oh train of hope where have you gone
Train of fear I fear you most
For I fear my time is getting close
And I've grown old chasing your ghost
Oh train of fear I fear you most

Ever Since
03:54
|
|||
|
Ever since I was a child
Ever since I learned to smile
Ever since I tried to walk a mile in your shoes
Ever since I had to play with you and all your friends that day
I found out I had to pay
For ways I tried to be like you
Well, I've lost something I can't find
I lost with my own mind
How am I ever gonna get back this time?
Ever since I was a child
Ever since I learned to smile
Ever since I tried to walk a mile in your shoes
Ever since I turned away from me and all my things that day
I found out I had to pay
For ways I tried to be like you
Well, I've lost something I can't find
I lost with my mind
How am I ever gonna get back this time?
But, life is what you make it
Oh, ya
You've got no reason to fake it
Oh, no
I know we're gonna make it
On our own
We need a place we can walk if we want to
While the sun shines down on our face
We need a tree we can curl up under and cry on
To help us to know our place in this world
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
I said that
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
I can't believe that I did something like that
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
That I went and made a mess like that
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
I forgot I'm much better than that
Ever since I was a child
Ever since I learned to smile
Ever since I tried to walk a mile in your shoes

Really Need You
05:06
|

|
I don't really need you
It's just that sometimes
I'm afraid of the dark
Oh the bath it would have been nicer
If you were there
Washing my back
Oh I don't know about that
If I let go of this hope that we'll be together
Will I be glad that I did
Will I say one day "He wasn't worth it"
When I look at him will I wonder what I saw in him anyway
I don't really need you
It's just that sometimes
I'm no longer alone
The meals they always taste finer
When you are here
Pass me the bread
I can't get you out of my head
Should I let go of this hope that we'll be together
Will I be glad that I did
Or will I say one day "She wasn't worth it"
When I look at her will I wonder what I saw in her anyway
I don't really need you
It's just that sometimes
I'm no longer afraid
Oh the bed
It's always warmer
When you are there stroking my hair
I can't find you anywhere
When I let go of this hope that we'll be together
Will I be glad that I did
Or will I say one day, "It wasn't worth it"
When I look at it will I wonder what I saw in it anyway
I don't really need you
It's just that sometimes
I'm afraid of the dark--a--a--ar---a---a---ar---a-a---ark.

Mourning Song
04:10
|
|||
|
Right now I think the morning is the most beautiful time
The birds are up and so am I
One day I will have wings to fly
When I know where it is I am going
I don't have time to laugh
I don't make time to sing
I only seem to find time for the most disturbing things
Queens and kings are only what we're waiting to become
For the stories to come true
For the pictures to be taken of these memories we will be making
For that star to race towards us with a rope to hitch a ride on
To lasso us up and out of this place
This waiting to grow wiser paragon
It makes me crazy
This I know
The world is hazy
Where'd you go
I thought that you said I could go there with you too
And now it's true
I feel so sad
I'm blue
It feels so bad
And it's all coursing through my veins
The fact that I am facing
What I used to be
Erasing
On the walls I was defacing
While the people I tried emancipating
All that I've done wrong
What I love I've loved all along
And that look upon your face it makes me cry
Now I can't explain why I'm running away
Why I'm stuck in this play
Why the carts make us sick
Why you're such a prick
Oh no oh no oh no oh no
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh

How Much
02:12
|

How much snow does it take?
I'm so cold my body aches
From this winter all my life has been sucked out
If you're lookin' at my face and I seem a bit disgraced
I have lost my smile I only wear a pout
Well, I'll dream about the summer
When the weather it was warmer
And my heart sang like a bird up in the tree
But for now I'll sit here shiverin'
Me poor ol' legs a quiverin'
All this winter's got me cryin' to myself
I could use a bit of lovin'
Your warm arms like an oven
Please do hold me till this winter's gone away
In the spring we can discover
As we throw off all these covers
And we walk both hand in hand
In the warm, hot, sun

Oxygen
04:02
|

I don't feel old anymore
I feel like a sophomore
Letting love flow through my pores again
It feels like the first time
A little girl with hopes and dreams
It's written on my face
It seems the world can see this lately so can I
It feels like the worst times
You can run and I can hide
But this love I can't deny
It's like oxygen to me
It's like oxygen
You're my oxygen
I wander through this life in tears
Thinking of the many years
Lovesick, lovestruck. loveless, wasting time
It feels like the worst times
I thought I saw a ray of light
Shine out through your eyes that night
I'd like to think I'd see that light again
It feels like the first time
You can run and I can hide
But this love you can't deny
It's like oxygen to me
You're my oxygen...you're my oxygen...you're my oxygen
It's like oxygen to me
I don't feel old anymore
I feel like a sophomore
Letting love flow through my pores again
It feels like the first time
You can run and I can hide
But this love I can't deny
It's like oxygen to me
You're my oxygen
We can run and we can hide
But this love we can't deny
It's our oxygen
It's our oxygen
We can run
We can hide
We can run
