E                                   B
Run out of money and runnin' out of luck

A                               E
Run into problem I never, never thought of

   E                                 B
It seems like I didn't run out of my dreams

    A                                            E
But we've got each other and tonight we're gonna leave
[Chorus]
       C#m   B
To the borderline

A                        E
Leave all our troubles behind

Forget all our troubles tonight
[Verse 2]
E                            B
A broken promise is a broken dream

      A                             E
We've all had so many, too many for me

  E                                           B
Impossible to have freedom when things aren't free

    A                                            E
But we've got each other and tonight we're gonna leave
