VERSE 1
E
Livin' in the borderland
        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 the law
                    E (hold chord for 8 counts)
Like the law of the jungle
 
E
Are we all animals?
Are we all animals
sharpenin' our teeth and claws
|B - - -| - - |            (notice extra beat added)
Stockin' up on cannonballs
 
E
Living like nobody knows
                B
They can’t hold on 
   C#m
to love
                B
And live by the law,
           Tag|E - - -|A - - - |B - - - |A - - -|
the law of the jungle
 
PRE-CHORUS
E
Help me Holy Jesus
          A
Won’t you show me how to live
B
I’ve got monsters at my table
           A
I’ve got Bibles bent like shivs
E
Help me Holy Lord
            A
I see the light of heaven’s porch
      E
But so many of us are born here
A
Outside your chain link fence
 
CHORUS
E (4 counts)              A (4 counts)
Living in the borderland
          B
You gotta fend for yourself,
                                A
Let the dogs eat the other man
E                                  A
Living in the borderland
              B
You gotta take what you get,
                       A
Gotta get what you can
 
VERSE 2
E
Are we all dangerous
Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up
B
Pockets full of fairy dust
E
Suffering the wanderlust
             B               C#m
They all get crushed without love
       B
By the law, 
               E
the law of the jungle
 
(Interlude: |E - - -|A - - -|B - - -|A - - -|)
