Chords

[Intro] B (atmospheric droning) Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth Where every son and daughter will know their worth Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy Oh how I long for heaven in a place called earth [Verse 1]
Bm              A       G
Oh, the wars we haven't won

G                   F#m7   Em
Oh, the songs we've left unsung 

Em                F#m7    G
Oh, the dreams we haven't seen

    F#m7  G
The borderlines

            Bm                     A         G
And here we are between all of our hopes and fear

G                  F#m7   Em
Chasing down these stolen years

Em               F#m7    G
Reaching out for hands unseen

       F#m7  G          F#m7  G
On the borderlines, the borderlines
[Chorus]

Where every son and daughter would know their worth

Oh how I long for heaven in a place called earth
[Verse 2]
Bm               A      G
Jesus name still on her tongue

G                F#m7   Em
Questions buried in her lungs:

Em             F#m7   G
“Oh my father, why my son?”

       F#m7  G          F#m7  G
on the borderlines, the borderlines
[Chorus]
          Bm                   A            Bm
Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth

            Bm                     F#m7       Em
Where every son and daughter would know their worth

              Em                   A          D
Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy

         D                    A            Bm
Oh how I long for heaven in a place called earth

        Bm                   A        G
I had a dream that I finally saw your face

G              F#m7    Em
Dancing in the arms of grace

Em                  F#m7    G
Dancing through the joy and pain

       F#m7  G          F#m7  G
On the borderlines, the borderlines
[Chorus]
          Bm                   A            Bm
Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth

            Bm                     F#m7       Em
Where every son and daughter would know their worth

              Em                   A          D
Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy

Oh how I long for heaven in a place called earth
Oh how I long for heaven in a place called earth
