[A] [D]
[A]
This is a song about the life of a man who's been living in a house with a roof over his head.
Hill wind off the river, [D] smokestacks fade to black.
[A] This town's my own, riding free and alone, [D] and I ain't looking back.
[A] Maybe I know [D] some people,
[A] maybe I break [D] some rules,
[A] but this is the street [D] I got to compete.
[F] Maybe I ain't [G] no fool, [C] so I take a little bad with the [Am] good.
[F] It [G] ain't [C] just black [G] and white, [C] you gotta deal with [Am] real.
[Em] [F] Ooh, [C] living [G] on the edge of [C] the night.
[Am]
[D]
[Am] Every wild desire
[Dm] beckons from the dark.
[A]
I've made my bed, but I can't rest [Am] my head [D] while I still swim in the sharks.
[A] Everyone [D] needs something,
[A] sometimes they don't know [D] why.
[Am] But so much could be [D] misunderstood [F] in the blink of [G] an eye,
[C] so I take a little bad with the [Am] good.
[F] [G] It still [C] ain't black and white, you gotta deal with real.
[F] Ooh, [G] [C] living on the edge of the night.
[F] Ooh, [C]
[Am] they say that you don't [D] like it,
[Am] well, maybe it's just my [D] luck.
[Am] So you live your work [D] and I'll keep mine,
[F] rolling like a wheel [G] through the city on the edge of [C] the night.
[Am]
[F] [G]
And [C] when the black rain's down in this cold [Em] gray town,
I'll [F] be waiting, [G] [C] waiting [G] at the edge of the [C] night.
[Am]
[F] On [C] [G] the edge of [C] the night.
