                                            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
