Ed Sheeran – Borderline
Key: A Major BPM: ♩ = 70 Time: 4/4
|D         E              |C#m  D   |D            E         |C#m          D    |
   Sadness always finds an in,         sneaks its way past infecting everything
|D           E             |C#m  D   |D             E            |C#m              D     |
   And every chapter has an end,        but this is one momentous sequel don’t you think?

       |D               E          |C#m          D      |24D   |
And the blackbirds they fly, like a frown on the skyline

|44D       A    |E                        |D        A        |E                         |
    Right now I feel I’m running from the light, engulfed in darkness, shielded from my
|D         A           |E                          |D           A       |E   |
 eyes, one foot in, one out, I’m stuck on the borderline, which way will I?

|D                E               |C#m  D   |D             E            |C#m           D   |
   Guess I should take this on the chin,       but I don’t even know how all of this began
|D        E            |C#m     D   |D           E               |C#m               D   |24D   |
   We are made to mould and bend,      how can I wish for nothing when it’s still a sin?

|44D       A    |E                        |D        A        |E                         |
    Right now I feel I’m running from the light, engulfed in darkness, shielded from my
|D         A           |E                          |D           A       |E   |
 eyes, one foot in, one out, I’m stuck on the borderline, which way will I?

|Bm      A      |E                    |Bm      A     |E    |
   Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry, we are so blind
|F#m       E           |D   |F#m       E           |D   |D   |
   Waiting on the borderline,  waiting on the borderline

|D           E           |C#m  D   |D            E                  |C#m            D   |
   So I will pour another drink,      and try to drown the pain with salt along the rim
|D               E               |C#m  D   |
   And I’ll shut off the things I think
|D             E             |C#m            D   |24D   |
  ’Coz nothing good will ever come from worrying

|44D       A    |E                        |D        A        |E                         |
    Right now I feel I’m running from the light, engulfed in darkness, shielded from my
|D         A           |E                          |D           A       |E   |
 eyes, one foot in, one out, I’m stuck on the borderline, which way will I?

|Bm      A      |E                    |Bm      A     |E    |
   Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry, we are so blind
