The Border   America
Early 80's song

Em                    Bm         
You must be lost in a far away land

C                              D
I've searched forever for your footprints in the sand

Em                 Bm                          
I feel you need me I have the answers 

C                    D
to the desperate calls I do not understand

Em              Bm                C                  D
A broken heart her lonely highway another dark night thinking alone

Em             Bm                C                      D
What went wrong it doesn't matter theirs just one thing that I know

Chorus:
Em             D         Em       L Em L
If I could make it to the border 
Em             D         Em       
If I could make it to the coast
Em             D         Em   
If I could make it to the border 
Em     C                 D               Em
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most    
Em            Bm             C                  D
Do0Do Do       DoDoDo        DoDo DoDo           Do Do Do
Em              D        Em   
If I could make it to the border 

Em          Bm                    C                          D
So on and on I'll keep on running I'll make the border by the morning light

Em           Bm              C                     D
Just one more river to cross then I'll be in your arms tonight
Chorus:
Em              Bm                C                    D
What went wrong it doesn't matter theirs just one thing that I know

Em              D        Em      L Em L
If I could make it to the border 
Em              D        Em       
If I could make it to the coast
Em     C                  D              Em
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
