John Mark McMillan - Borderland

^ELiving in the borderland I don’^Bt feel like a boy, I don’t feel like a man In the thin^Egs I don’t understand Things like love^C#m, like the law ^B Like the law of the jungl^Ee ^EAre we all animals Are we all animals sharpening Our teeth and claws ^BStocking up on cannonballs ^ELiving like nobody knows They can’t hold o^Bn to lov^C#me And live by the law,^B the law of the jungl^Ee

^EHelp me Holy Jesus Won’t you s^Ahow me how to live ^EI’ve got monsters at my table I’ve g^Aot Bibles bent like shivs ^EHelp me Holy Lord I see the li^Aght of heaven’s porch But so^E many of us are born here ^AOutside your chain link fence

You gotta fend f^Eor yourself, Let the dogs eat the other man ^A E -A Living in the borderland You gotta take^B what you get, Gotta get what you can ^A

^EAre we all dangerous Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up Pock^Bets full of fairy dust ^ESuffering the wanderlust They all get cru^Bshed without love ^C#m By the law, ^Bthe law of the jungle ^E

Are you going to fight ^Elike a boy, Gonna run like a man ^A E -A Living in the borderland Gotta take ^Ewhat you get, Gotta get what you can ^A But you can’t hold^C#m on Can’t hold on to ^Blove You can’t hol^C#md on You can’t^B hold on and live By the Law ^E
