Verse
G C G C
Some folks are born into a good life Other folks get it anyway anyhow
G C G C
I lost my money and I lost my wife 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
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
D Dm7 C D C G C
In the darkness on the edge of town There's a darkness on the edge of town
