The Edge Of America

Dm Am Walk the edge of America Dm C A concrete beach to scrape my hand Dm Em G Inside the subway stinking fear and shame Am G Am Becomes the violent breath Dm Am Vigilantes out on dawn patrol Dm C But now there's nothing left to hide Dm Em G I'm just a number on the metal fence Am G Am Which marks the great divide Dm Hey boy Am Give your dreams a rest F If you're tired of searching Em G This is where it ends Dm There's nothing left to lose Am C Nothing to protest E Learn to love your anger now G Dm F Anger here is all you possess Am Welcome to the edge Dm Am Below the towers of the citadel Dm C Seems someone overlooked the cost Dm Em G Forgotten soldier of paradise Am G Am Now paradise is lost Dm Am Recognition never realized Dm C Salvation lost among the crowd Dm Em G So tell me beside this sterile sea Am G Am Where is your nation now? And we say Dm Hey boy Am Give your dreams a rest F If you're tired of searching Em G This is where it ends Dm There's nothing left to lose Am C Nothing to protest E Learn to love your anger now G Dm F Anger here is all you possess Am Welcome to the edge
