[Intro]
Cadd9 F Em7 F x2 
  
     Cadd9 
I'm standing on the borderline 
       Am 
What should I bring or leave behind 
      F 
From who I was 
    G 
For who I'm gonna be?
[Versetto]
Cadd9                     Am 
I still haven't packed my bags 
             Cadd9 
It's time to go 
                      Am 
And I could not care less 
              F 
So now, I'll miss the train 
                 G 
A walk's still progress made 
  G                              Cadd9 Am 
I just won't arrive quite as fast
[Versetto]
Cadd9             Am 
I'm thinking way back 
             Cadd9 
To where I'm from 
                Am 
To the things I had 
        F 
I feel I've forgotten something 
                    G 
Iâm sure that it's probably nothing 
            G                          Cadd9 G 
But that's based more on fear than on fact
[Ritornello]
     Cadd9 
I'm standing on the borderline 
  Am 
Between two states- I'm petrified 
    Am           Cadd9 
To push ahead or turn back homewardly
[Versetto]
Cadd9               Am 
I'm a shadow of the past 
                Cadd9 
The shadow of a boy 
                    Am 
A boy who couldn't last 
                        F 
They said: "Son, don't change" 
           G           G                     Cadd9 Am 
And I keep hoping they won't see how much I have
[Versetto]
   Cadd9                    Am 
A feeling's not a thing you own 
              Cadd9 
But it can be lost 
                  Am 
I just want to be home 
                         F 
'Cause home's where the heart is 
             G 
And when I departed 
     G                      Cadd9 G 
I might've abandoned them both
[Ritornello]
     Cadd9 
I'm standing on the borderline 
  Am 
Between two states-- I'm petrified 
      Cadd9 
I'm standing on the borderline 
      Am 
What should I bring or leave behind 
     F 
From who I was 
    G                  Em7 
For who I'm gonna be?
[Ponte]
     G                    Bm                Cadd9 
I'd like to say: "I'm the same person from yesterday 
            G 
Nothing's changed"  
         G             Bm                 Cadd9 
'Cause yesterday I was eager to see what awaited 
             G 
I wasn't jaded  
     G   Bm Em7 
But no! 
            Cadd9 
I can't go back  
G 
Youth seemed sweeter 
                Bm                                   Em7 
But if I could return, all I've learned would be forfeit 
           Cadd9  G Bm Em7 Cadd9 G Bm Em7 Cadd9 
I won't go back
[Outro]
     G                            Bm 
I'm followed by the borderline as I pace forward in my life 
 Em7                   Cadd9                       G 
Seeking the times I'll long for once they leave me
