VERSE 1
ELivin' in the borderland
I don’Bt feel like a boy, I don’t feel like a man
In the thinEgs I don’t understand
Things like C#mlove, like the Blaw
E (hold chord for 8 counts)
Like the law of the jungle
EAre we all animals?
Are we all animals
sharpenin' our teeth and claws
|B - - -| - - | (notice extra beat added)
Stockin' up on cannonballs
ELiving like nobody knows
They can’t holBd on
to C#mlove
And live by the Blaw,
Tag|E - - -|A - - - |B - - - |A - - -|
the law of the jungle
PRE-CHORUS
EHelp me Holy Jesus
Won’t yoAu show me how to live
BI’ve got monsters at my table
I’ve got ABibles bent like shivs
EHelp me Holy Lord
I see the liAght of heaven’s porch
But soE many of us are born here
AOutside your chain link fence
CHORUS
E (4 counts) A (4 counts)
Living in the borderland
You gotta Bfend for yourself,
Let the dogs eat the other man A
ELiving in the borderland A
You gotta takeB what you get,
Gotta get what you can A
VERSE 2
EAre we all dangerous
Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up
BPockets full of fairy dust
ESuffering the wanderlust
They all get Bcrushed without C#mlove
By the Blaw,
the law of the Ejungle
(Interlude: |E - - -|A - - -|B - - -|A - - -|)
PRE-CHORUS
EHelp me Holy Jesus
Won’t yoAu show me how to live
I’ve goBt monsters at my table
I’ve got ABibles bent like shivs
EHelp me Holy Lord
I see the liAght of heaven’s porch
But so Bmany of us are born here
AOutside your chain link fence
CHORUS
ELiving in the borderland A
Gotta Bfight like a boy,
Gotta run like a man A
ELiving in the borderland A
Gotta Btake what you get,
Gotta get what you can A
