Across the Borderline

          E               (E7)
There's a place, so I been told,
A               B          E
Every street is paved with gold,
         E     C#m             B(sus4 - B)
And it's just across the borderline.
E
When it's time to take your turn,
 A               B        E
There's a lesson you must learn:
                             B            E
You could lose more than you ever hope to find.
                              (E7)
And when you reach that broken-promise land,
A                    B            E

The Usual

A

A
I'm trippin over dumb drunks at a party
F                      G                 A
My girlfriend just ran off with the DJ
A
I'd give her everything I had, but she refused it
F                        G                         A
It don't matter now, she don't know how to use it
C
My confidence is dwindling
D
Look at the shape I'm in
C
Where's my pearls, where's the swine?
D                                           [n.c.]
I'm not thirsty, but I'm standing in line.
                    A
I'll have the usual

Yeah, I'll have the usual
