Border Lord Kris Kristofferson
Verse 1
[E]Darkness had us [A]covered when we [E]split from Minn[A]esota in the [E]morning,[A] in the [E]rain.[A]
[E]Black as I was [A]feeling and the [E]street was slick and [A]shiny as a [E]snake.[A] [E] [A]
[E]Each of us was [A]humming to a [E]half forgotten [A]echo hanging [E]over, [A] in the [E]brain.[A]
[B7]Tappin' time and thinking of the [A]time we never had the time to [E]take.[A] [E] [A]
Verse 2
[E]Losin' to the [A]rising cost of [E]living high and [A]lovin' hard and [E]leavin' ever [A]yesterday be[E]hind.[A]
[E]Learnin' every [A]bridge you cross is [E]burning down be[A]fore you're off,
and [E]running like the [A]devil just in [E]time.[A]
Chorus
[D]Breakin' any ties before they [A]bind you, [D]takin' any comfort you can [A]find.
[D]Runnin' like you're runnin' out of [E]time ~~~~,
Take it [D]all, (take it easy) 'till it's [A]over, under[G]standin',
When you're headin' for the border Lord, you're [A]bound to cross the [E]line.[A] [E] [A]
[E] [A] [E] [A]
Verse 3
[E]Good lookin' [A]women every [E]time you [A]stumble,
[E]waitin' there to [A]catch you where you [E]fall.[A]
[E]Getting' to you [A]bad enough to [E]let 'em keep you [A]backin' up,
'till [E]just before your [A]back's against the [E]wall.[A]
Chorus
[D]Breakin' any ties before they [A]bind you, [D]takin' any comfort you can [A]find,
[D]runnin' like you're runnin'out of [E]time ~~~~.
Take it [D]all, (take it easy) 'till it's [A]over, under[G]standin',
when you're headin' for the border Lord, you're [A]bound to cross the [E]line.[A] [E] [A]
