The Edge

Intro: Dm   Am   F   G (4x) 


[Verso 1]

Dm               F 
Most of us will never know 
     C                    G/B 
How dark this world can seem 
      Dm                 Bb                 C 
When life becomes more nightmare than a dream 
      Dm                F 
So to all of you who have survived 
    C            G/B 
A visit to the edge 
   Bb                   Gm              C 
I trust that you will understand this pledge 


[Refrão]

    Bb             C 
I promise I will always leave 
      F                  G 
The darkness for the light 
  Bb/D                C/E 
I swear by all that's holy 
        F                  G 
I will not give up the fight 
      Bb                    Gm 
I'll drink down death like water 
          C 
Before I ever come again 
         Dm                 Bb 
To that dark place where I might make 
      C 
The choice for life to end

[Verso 2]

      Dm               F 
I've found that as I traveled 
              C             G/B 
Through the inscape of my life 
       Dm                Bb             C 
That mountaintops make valleys in between 
     Dm                  F 
And when that nameless sadness 
         C               G/B 
Like a cloud comes over me 
        Bb               Gm               C 
I look back on all the brightness I have seen 



[Refrão]

    Bb             C 
I promise I will always leave 
      F                 G 
The darkness for the light 
  Bb/D                C/E 
I swear by all that's holy 
        F                 G 
I will not give up the fight 
      Bb                    Gm 
I'll drink down death like water 
          C 
Before I ever come again 
         Dm                 Bb 
To that dark place where I might make 
      C 
The choice for life to end 



[Ponte]

      Am 
And realize that though my world 
       Em 
Might seem so torn apart 
      Bb                                Gm 
Most often it is joy that breaks the heart 
     Am 
And that I am the richest man 
       Em 
Though I must beg for bread 
         Bb 
For the very One who might condemn 
      Gm                 C 
Has called me friend instead 



[Refrão]

    Bb             C 
I promise I will always leave 
      F                 G 
The darkness for the light 
  Bb/D                C/E 
I swear by all that's holy 
        F                 G 
I will not give up the fight 
      Bb                    Gm 
I'll drink down death like water 
          C 
Before I ever come again 
         Dm                 Bb 
To that dark place where I might make 
      C 
The choice for life to end
