Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
SOL DO
They carry it with them every step that they take
SOL DO
Till some day they just cut it loose
SOL DO SOL MIm
Cut it loose or let it drag `em down
SOL DO SOL MIm
Where no one asks any questions
SOL DO
Or looks too long in your face
SOL MIm
In the darkness on the edge of town
RE REm7 DO RE
There's a darkness on the edge of town
DO SOL DO
(Rest of song continues exact same way)
Some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
I lost my money and I lost my wife
Them 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 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
In the darkness on the edge of town
