Intro: B    E  B
       A E G D (2x)

        A          E           G               D        A  E  G  D
>From the bar to the bedroom I'm swimming in the neon
       A             E        G            D         A  E  G  D
Lighted pictures of a redhead, plasticoated hot on
    F                   G
And sometimes when that mirror shows
    E            Am
The smile of disbelief
       F             G
Stained signature of nightmares
       Bm            E       C#m (Riff 1)   NC
They're stolen by the thief

Chorus:
               B            Em
I'm back on the borderline
A       F#         B            Em (Riff 2) A F#
Yes I'm back on the borderline

A E G D (2x)

      A          E           G             D          A  E  G  D
By the end make a bet and the only place is laminex
 A         E          G               D            A  E  G D
Laugh a lot cry a lot salt and pepper supper sex
    F                   G            E
And sometimes when that magic of the moment
          Am
Fails the test
   F               G
In retrospect that diamond day
   
Bm              E
Did not make second best
    G                A/G
And sometimes when a thousand voices
F#                  Bm
Tell you that you're wrong
 G                  A
A saint in any form
          C#m (Riff 1)     NC
Becomes a sinner all along

[Chorus]

Solo:  B   Em  A F#  (3x)  then

[Chorus] x 2
