C G C
burned in her veins now i hear she’s got a house up in fairview
G C G C G Em
and a style she’s trying to maintain well if she wants to see me
G C | G Em | G C
you can tell her that i’m easily found tell her there’s a spot out
G Em D Dm7 C
`neath abram’s bridge and tell her there’s a darkness on the edge of town
D C G C
there’s a darkness on the edge of town

G C G C
everybody’s got a secret sonny something that they just can’t face
G C
some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
G C
they carry it with them every step that they take
G C G Em G C | G Em |
till some day they just cut it loose cut it loose or let it drag `em down
G C G Em
where no one asks any questions or looks too long in your face
D Dm7 C D C G C
in the darkness on the edge of town there’s a darkness on the edge of town

some folks are born into a good life other folks get it anyway anyhow
G C G C
i lost my money and i lost my wife them things don’t seem to matter much to me now
G C G Em
tonight i’ll be on that hill `cause i can’t stop
i’ll be on that hill with everything i got
lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
i’ll be there on time and i’ll pay the cost
for wanting things that can only be found
D Dm7 C D C G C
in the darkness on the edge of town there’s a darkness on the edge of town
