PRE-CHORUS
F E/C[/ch]
All treasures of wisdom and things to be known
Are hidden inside your hand
F E/C[/ch]
And in this fortunate turn of events
You ask me to be your friend
You ask me to be your friend

CHORUS
And you, You are my first, You are my last
You are my fu – ture and my past[-]

F C (2nd time through CHORUS)

VERSE 2
The constellations are swimming inside
The breadth of your desire
Where could I run, where could I hide
from your hearts jealous fire

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

BRIDGE (x4)
Dm E/C[/ch] F
You are the beginning and the end

Help me Holy Jesus
Won’t you show me how to live
I’ve got monsters at my table
I’ve got Bibles bent like shivs
Help me Holy Lord
I see the light of heaven’s porch
But so many of us are born here
Outside your chain link fence

Living in the borderland[-A]
You gotta fend for yourself,
Let the dogs eat the other man
Living in the borderland[-A]
You gotta take what you get,
Gotta get what you can

Are we all dangerous
Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up
Pockets full of fairy dust
Suffering the wanderlust
They all get crushed without love
By the law, the law of the jungle

(Interlude: E-A-B-C#m)
(Return to Chorus, then)

Living in the borderland[-A]
Are you going to fight like a boy,
Gonna run like a man
Living in the borderland[-A]
Gotta take what you get,
Gotta get what you can
But you can’t hold on
Can’t hold on to love
You can’t hold on
You can’t hold on and live
By the Law[-]

Outro: E-A-B-C#m repeated, then E-A repeated
