There's a [D] darkness [C] on the edge of town.
[D] There's a darkness on [G] the [D] edge [G] of
[D] [G]
town.
Well, they're still racing out of the trestles.
But that blood had never burned in her veins.
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview.
And a style she's trying to maintain.
Well, if she wants to see me,
You can tell her that I'm easily found.
Tell her [D] there's a spot out in these Abrams bridges.
There's a darkness on [G] the edge of town.
[D]
There's a darkness on the edge of [G] town.
[D] [G] Well, everybody's got a secret, son.
Everybody's got something that they just can't face.
[D] [G] Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it.
They carry it with them every step that they take.
[D] So one day they just cut it loose.
Cut it loose and let it drag them down.
[G] Where no one asks any questions, it looks too [D] long in your face.
In the darkness on [G] the edge of town.
[D] In the darkness on the edge of [C] town.
[D] [G]
Now some folks are born into a good life.
Other folks, they get it anyway anyhow.
Me, well, I lost my faith when I lost my wife.
Those things don't seem to matter much to me now.
Tonight I'll be on that hill, cause I can't stop.
I'll be on that hill with everything I've got.
Life in line where dreams are found and lost.
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost.
For wanting [D] things that can only be found.
In the darkness on the edge of town.
[D] In the darkness on the edge of town.
