1. Now they're still racing out at the trestles
G C
But that blood it never burned in her veins
G G
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
G C
And a style she's trying to maintain
G C
Well if she wants to see me
G C G Em
You can tell her that I'm easily found
G C G
Tell her there's a spot out beneath Abram's Bridge
D C
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
D C G D
There's a darkness on the edge of town
2. Now everybody's got a secret Sonny
Just something that they just can't face
G C
Some folks they spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take
Till someday they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down
G C G C Em
Where no one asks any questions or looks too long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town
3. Now some folks are born into a good life
Other folks they get it anyway anyhow
G C
Well me, I lost my money and I lost my wife
Those things don't matter much to me now
G C G C
'Cause tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
G C G C
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
G C G C
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 C
In the darkness on the edge of town
D C G D
In the darkness on the edge of town
