G                   F
  Walk the edge of America
G                               F
  A concrete beach to scrape my hand
F6                           Em
  Inside the subway stinking fear and shame
    Am        G        Am  
Becomes the violent breath

G                   F 
  Vigilantes out on dawn patrol
G                                 F  
  But now there's nothing left to hide
F6                         Em
  I'm just a number on the metal fence
        Am        G      Am
Which marks the great divide


Chorus:
F
  Hey boy
Em
  Give your dreams a rest
F
  If you're tired of searching
Em
  This is where it ends
                F 
There's nothing left to lose
Em
Nothing to protest
F
Learn to love your anger now
Em            G          F   
Anger here is all you possess
G                 Dm
  Welcome to the edge



Below the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
Now paradise is lost


Recognition never realized
Salvation lost among the crowd
So tell me beside this sterile sea
Where is your nation now?


Chorus:
And we say
Hey boy
Give your dreams a rest
If you're tired of searching
This is where it ends
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the edge
