Well, they're still racing out at the Trestles But that blood it never
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
