The Edge of America Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Walk the[D] edge of [Am]Ameri[G]ca
[Dm]Concrete beach to scrape my [Am]hand
[Dm]Inside the subway stinking
[G]fear and shame
Be[Am]comes the vi[G]olent [Am]breath.[G]
[D]Vigil[Dm]antes [Am]out on dawn patrol
[Dm]But now there's noth[D]ing left to hide[Am]
[F]I'm just a number[Dm] on
[G]the metal fence
Which [Am]marks the [G]great di[Am]vide.

[Verse 2]
[F]Sing it
Hey boy, [Am]give your dreams a rest
[F]If you're tired of searching
[D]this is where it ends
There's nothing [F]left to lose
[Am]Nothing to protest
[E]Learn to love your anger now
[G]Anger here is [D]all you possess.
[F]Welcome to the edg[Am]e.

[Verse 3]
[D]
Below the towers of the [Am]citadel
[Dm]Seems some[D]one overlooked the cost.[Am]
[F]Forgotten soldier of Par[G]adise
Now [Am]Paradis[G]e is l[Am]ost.[Dsus4]
[D]Recognition never [Am]realized
[D]Salvation lost among the [Am]crowd
[F]So tell me here beside the[G] sterile sea
Where [Am]is your nati[G]on now?

[Verse 4]
[Am]And we s[F]ay
Hey boy, [Am]give your dreams a rest
[F]If you're tired of searching
[D]this is where it ends
There's nothing [F]left to lose
[Am]Nothing to protest
[E]Learn to love your anger now
[G]Anger here is [D]all you possess.
[F]Welcome to the edg[Am]e.
