 fast picking  pause
 
 Its Midnight in the big city
 At the bar drinking all on  my own
 Just thinking about that girl  and me
 base run
  How something's going wrong
 Mister tell  me
 Whats my saving grace
 The backroom boys are all  telling me
 base run
  I'm a borderline case
  back  on the borderline one  more time  x2
  Seven beers and still sober
  It's time to change to something stronger
  I cannot take this scene no longer
  She could have told me its all over
  Back in my home town
  The old place it's still the same
  But time can cast a spell over someone
  And you can't go back again
 Solo  baserun
  Back to the borderline one more time x2
  Mister fill me another
  Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around
  Just pass that bottle one more time
  I'm slowly sinking down
  Genie can I tell you
  The shame of my disgrace
  It's just love or rejection
  For this borderline case
  Back on the borderline one more time ... repeat and fade
