Chorus 1

E

Living in the borderland

         E B

I don't feel like a boy, I don't feel like a man

          E

In the things I don't understand

             C#m        B

Things like love, like law

                E    C#m

The law of the jungle



Verse 1

E

Are we all animals?



Verse 2

Are we all animals shning our teeth and claws

E B

Stocking up on cannonballs?

E

Living like nobody knows

                E B    C#m

They can't hold on to love

                 B                   E

And live by the law, the law of the jungle

Help me Holy Jesus

Won't You show me how to live?

I've got monsters at my table

I've got Bibles bent like shivs

Help me, Holy Lord

           C#m               E

I see the light of Heaven's porch

        E B

But so many of us are born here

    C#m                  E

Outside Your chain link fence

Gotta run like a man

E                       A

Living in the borderland

           E B

You gotta take what you get

                      A

Just to get what you can



Verse 4

E

Are we all dangerous?



Verse 5

Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up

E B

Pockets full of fairy dust?

Suffering the wanderlust

They all get crushed without love

By the law, the law of the jungle

And let the dogs eat the other man

E                        A

Living in the borderland

           E B

You gotta take what you get

                       A

Gotta get what you can
