Border Line Chords

Existing tabs can tell you how to play the guitar part, but here I've tried to integrate the rhythm with the lyrics so you can play and sing easier. It is worth spending some time practicing the Verse before trying to sing over it, as it can be a bit tricky with the fast chord changes, the strumming pattern might help you with that.Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
Bm9 E7 Dmaj7 A7  / Bm9 E7 A7   / (x4)
 
[Verse 1]
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7  A7      Bm9  E7  A7
                  You know I tried so hard
    Bm9   E7 Dmaj7  A7    Bm9  E7     A7
              My feelings just can't discard
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7   A7     Bm9 E7 A7
The way...        in which I fell into
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7   A7        Bm9 E7   A7
Your heart...      was never what I once knew
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7   A7       Bm9  E7   A7
                      Lately my skull has kept
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7   A7      Bm9   E7     A7
                      Dividing lines deep set,
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7   A7          Bm9  E7  A7
and paved...          Two paths to wander through,
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7   A7    Bm9    E7  A7
to depart...       And sever desires to pursue
 
N.C.
 
[Chorus]
             Bm7
And the soul chokes
             A#m7       Dmaj7  C#maj7  F#m7
To cause the tide, to enforce divide...
F#m7             A7                       Bm7
    This whole devotion has morphed in time
                A#m7      Dmaj7  C#maj7  F#m7
I'll escort her mind to solve my crimes
F#m7             A7
    Reach slow motion to con the mind
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7  A7      Bm9  E7  A7
                  See here I trace my steps
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7  A7        Bm9 E7 A7
                   To where my senses left
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7  A7      Bm9  E7  A7
And rain...       had turn my sense to mush
     Bm9  E7  Dmaj7   A7      Bm9  E7    A7
This slowly seeping straight through the crust
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7  A7      Bm9  E7  A7
               Now let these stains of gunk
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7  A7       Bm9  E7   A7
slip down...       To where my head once sunk
    Bm9   E7   Dmaj7  A7             Bm9  E7  A7
and drowned...    Just to wait for a while to see
    Bm9  E7  Dmaj7  A7            Bm9  E7   A7
My body...     has merged to the deep krule sea
 
N.C.
 
[Chorus]
             Bm7
But my soul floats
                    A#m7     Dmaj7  C#maj7  F#m7
Adrift thoughtless minds, distorted lines
F#m7             A7
    The soul is broken down, borderlines
             A#m7       Dmaj7  C#maj7  F#m7
To cause the tide, to enforce divide
F#m7            A7                        Bm7
    This whole emotion has morphed in time
                A#m7      Dmaj7  C#maj7  F#m7
I'll escort her mind to solve my crimes
F#m7             A7                  Bm7
    Reach slow motion to con the mind
 
 
[Outro]
           A#m7     Dmaj7     C#maj7  F#m7
So scorn divine and mourn the pride
F#m7             A7
   The cold has spoken, draw the line
 
Bm7      / A#m7  Dmaj7 C#maj7 / F#m7      / A7      / (x2)

include the 5 on the high e string during the Dmaj7 chord, and change the same string to a 7 during the A7, in the verse, and then its perfect m8. thanks!

Great job, especially for the chorus ! It's maybe a wrong way to play it, but it seems that the E7 in the verse is actually a Bm7 (797777)

great job. that slide on that e7 is tough! gr8 tab ++
