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 
  
  
Chorus
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? 
  
  
Chorus
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
