Well...
G C
Well, they're still racing out at the Trestles
G C
But that blood it never burned in her veins
G C
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
G C
And a style she's trying to maintain
G C G Em
Well if she wants to see me
G C |G Em |
You can tell her that I'm easily found
G C G Em
Tell her there's a spot out `neath Abram's Bridge
D Dm7 C
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
Everybody's got a secret Sonny
G C
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
Till some day they just cut it loose
G C |G Em |
Cut it loose or let it drag `em down
G C
Where no one asks any questions
G Em
Or looks too long in your face
D Dm7 C
In the darkness on the edge of town
D C G C
There's a darkness on the edge of town

G C
Some folks are born into a good life
G C
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
G C
I lost my money and I lost my wife
G C
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
G C G Em
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
G C G Em
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
G C G Em
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
G C G Em
For wanting things that can only be found
D Dm7 C
In the darkness on the edge of town
D C G C
There's a darkness on the edge of town
