C5                         G5 
There's a chill on this evening, nights right for greaving,  
F5                         C5               G5 
Darkness surrounds him as he wanders alone 
C5                               G5 
He walked past the dim lights, the pathways and street lights 
F5      D5            F5       G5     C5 
They remind him , of nights long ago,  
C5                                           G5 
When his love was strong and his muscles hard, His whiskey throat was barley marred,  
F5                         C5               G5               C5 
Seeking misfortune in the lies that he told, Then a brokin heart bought him to his knees,  
G5                           F5               D5             F5      G5           C5 
In the hour of his greatest need, Lost and forsaken by the love, he could not hold 
 
Chorus

            On the Border line of love again, Its bound to make you pay 
            E5                        F5       G5   C5           F5           G5         C5 
            On the Border line, we'll make our stand, Then watch it fall ~~ away 
 
Inst. 
 
And he stands in quiet solitude, The nights reflects upon his mood, 

Seeking the vision that had once been so clear, When he felt the touch of his women's love 

His pounding heart was warm and young, Now locked inside him with his anger and fear 
 
As he moves on slowly, past the trees, Down the path way home through fallen leaves 

He can't believe, how he'd sunken so low, So he learned to live with his injured pride 

His purple heart hidden, deep inside, The only reward, for a love he could not hold
