Intro: Dm - Dm/C - Bb - Dm - C - Bb - F/C - C
F
I'm standing in the station,
C
I am waiting for a train,
Gm
To take me to the border,
Dm
And my loved one far away,
Gdim Dm
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
Gm C C7 Dm9
I could hardly even bear to see them go;
F
Rolling through the countryside,
C
Tears are in my eyes,
Gm
We're coming to the borderline,
Dm
I'm ready with my lies,
Gdim Dm
And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
Gm C7 F - C - Dm - C - Bb - Dm - C - Bb - F/C - C
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;
F F/E Dm
And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
Gm Gm/D C
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
F C/E Dm
I'm taking my side,___ one of us will lose,
Gm
Don't let go, I want to know,
Eb Dm - C
That you will wait for me until the day,
Bb Dm - C - Bb
There's no borderline,________ no borderline;
Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know,
How men can see the wisdom in a war...
And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline,
Bb Dm - C - Bb Dm
No borderline,________ no borderline...
