CLOSE TO THE BORDERLINE BILLY JOEL
KEY OF A
-7 -7 -7 -6b -7 -7 -7
Black-out heat-wave, four-ty four
-7 -7 -6b -8 -8 -8
Ca-li-ber hom-i-cide
-7 -9 8 8 7 7 -7 -6
The buns drop dead and dogs go mad
-5 -7 -6b -6b -6b -5b
In packs on the West Side
-7 -7 -7 -7 -6b -5 -7 -7
Young girl stand-ing on a ledge looks
-7 -7 -6b -5 7 -8 -8
like an-oth-er su-i-cide
-9 -9 -9 -9 8 8
She wants to hit those bricks
7 7 7 -7 -6 -5 -5
'Cause the news at six got-ta
-6b -6b -6b -6b -5b
stick to a dead-line
-7 -7 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -7 -8
While the mil-lion-aires hide in Beek-man Place
-7 -8 7 7 -7 -5 -5 -7 7 -7
The bag la-dies throw their bones in my face
-4 -5b -5 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -8
I get at-tacked by a kid with ster-e-o sound
-7 -8 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -8 7 -7
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn down
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
Life is tough but it's just e-nough
7 -8 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -5b
To hold back the tears un-til it's clos-ing time
-9 -9 -9 -7 7 -7 -8
I sur-vived, I'm still a-live
(CHORUS)
-6b -5 -6b -5 7 7 7 7 -7 -6
But I'm get-ting close to the bor-der-line
-8 -8 -8 -8 7 -7
Close to the bor-der-line
VERSE 2 ame as 1
A buck three eighty
Won't buy you much lately on the street
these days and when you can get gas
You know you can't drive fast
anymore on the parkways
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Shoved into the lost and found
The no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell
With the next big meltdown
I got remote control and a color T.V.
I don't change channels so they must change me
I got real close friends that will get me high
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
(CHORUS)
7 -8 -9 9 -9 -9 -8 7 -7 -7
I thought I'd sa-cri-fice so man-y things
7 -8 -9 9 -9 -9 -8 -8
I thought I'd throw them all a-way
7 -8 -9 9 -9 -10 -8 -7 -7 -7
I did-n't think I need-ed an-y-thing
-7 -7 -7 -8 -8 -7 -7 -7
But you can't af-ford to squan-der
-7 -7 7 -9 -9 -8 -9
what you're not pre-pared to pay
7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -7 -8
I need a doc-tor for my pres-sure pills
-8 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -8 -7 7 -7
I need a law-yer for my med-i-cal bills
7 7 7 7 -7 7 -7 7 7 -8 -7
I need a ban-ker to fi-nance my home but
-8 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -8 7 -7
I need sec-u-ri-ty to back my loan
7 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -7 -8
It is-n't new what I'm go-ing through
-8 9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 9 7 -7
But ev-ry-bo-dy knows you got to break some-time
-7 -8 -9 9 -9 -9 -9 9 -9
An-oth-er night I fought the good fight
(CHORUS TO END)
ENJOY!!
