D#
You're like a brother, just like no other
You keep the torch, that eternal flame
We bought the ticket, that one-way ticket
The hottest seat on the crazy train

         F# E      B   C#      F#
It takes power to walk in our shoes
         F# E      B   C#
It takes power to walk on

Chorus:
B
We walk the borderline
Crossing those ice-cold waters
We jump into the fire
Riding the wildest storm

We rock the planet, up to the zenith
Feel that adrenalin overload
Can't stop the fever, that road fever
It's in my blood, in every single bone

It takes power to walk in our shoes
It takes power to walk on

Chorus:
We walk the borderline
Crossing those ice-cold waters
We jump into the fire
Riding the wildest storm
We walk the borderline
Doing it now or never
We walk into the light
Bringing this baby home

         F#
Another day around the corner
          B
There is sunshine after rain
      F#                    B
This journey is going an forever
F#
Home is where my heart is
        B
And I'm always on my way
   F#    A#m  B    C#
I don't look back now
   F#    A#m  B    C#
We don't look back now

Chorus:
We walk the borderline
Crossing those ice-cold waters
We jump into the fire
Riding the wildest storm
We walk the borderline
Doing it now or never
We walk into the light
Bringing this baby home - x2
