Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I wake up in the morning full of dread

[G/f#]

Trying to remember what I said

Say that I won't call you and I mean it every time

'til I cross that Bourbon Borderline

I wish that I could tell you why I called

Sometimes it's just hard for me that's all

I know that it's over and it's just a waste of time

Until I cross that Bourbon Borderline

Chorus

Memories of you surround me

And I'm afraid the tears might drown me

[G/f#]

Oh, I think I'm doing fine

'Til I cross that Bourbon Borderline

It's good that I just do this now and then

You know I'm really not a drinking man

But I can't bear to talk about us any other time

Until I cross that Bourbon Borderline

Chorus

Oh, I think I'm doing fine

'Til I cross that Bourbon Borderline
