There's a place, where I've been told, every street is paved with gold
C Am G
And it's just across the borderline.
C G C
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find.
F G7 C Am
When you reach the broken promised land,
F C Am
Every dream slips through your hands,
C Am C G
Then you'll know that it?s too late to change your mind,
F G7 C Am
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
F C Am
Just to wind up where you are,
C G G7 C
And you're still just across the borderline.
C G Am F G
Up and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sand
C Am G
Reveal the secrets no one can define.
C G Am F G
The river flows on like a breath in between our life and death.
C G C
Tell me, who?s the next to cross the borderline?
(Instrumental break: verse)
C G Am F G
En la triste oscuridad hoy tenemos que cruzar
C Am G
Este rio que los llama mas, mas alla. *
C G Am F G
But hope remains when pride is gone and it keeps you moving on
C G C
Farther across the borderline.
F G7 C Am
And when you reach the broken promised land,
F C Am
Every dream slips through your hands,
C Am C G
Then you'll know it?s too late to change your mind,
F G7 C Am
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
F C Am
Just to wind up where you are,
C G G7 C
And you're still just across the borderline.
C G G7 C
Now you're still just across the borderline.
*In the grim darkness now we have come to cross this river which calls us us farther, farther beyond.
