A
You went off the river
  D
Smoke stacks fade to blind
      A
This town's my own, ridin'free and alone
    D
And I'm looking back
 A                 D
Maybe I know some people
 A                  D
Maybe I break some rules
      A                       D
But this is the street, I've got to compete
F                 G
Baby, I ain't no fool

       C                          A
*So I take a little bad with the good
F                G
  It ain't just black and white
(It still ain't black and white)
C                              A
  You've got to deal with the real
 F    G                         C    A
Woo, living on the edge of the night

Am
Every wild desire
 Dm
Beckons from the dark
      Am
I've made my bed but I can't risk my head
      Dm
While I still swim with sharks
Am              Dm
Everyone needs something
     Am                     Dm
Sometimes they don't know why
     Am                    Dm
But so much good's been misunderstood
F                    G
 In the blink of the eye

(Repeat *)

Am                       Dm
 You say that you don't like it
    Am                 Dm
Or maybe it's just my life
    Am                Dm
So you live yours and I'll keep mine
 F                                G                       C    Am   F   G
Rolling like a wheel through the city on the edge of the night
               C
And when the black rain's down
         Am
In this cold grey town
         F
I'll be waiting
 G                          C    Am
Waiting at the edge of the night
 F    G                         C    Am
Woo, living on the edge of the night
 F    G                         Am   Dm   Am    Dm   Am
Woo, living on the edge of the night
