                G                       C                    G
Well, they're still racing out at the Trestles    But that blood it never 
               C            G                            C
burned in her veins  Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
        G                        C      G        C           G      Em
And a style she's trying to maintain   Well if she wants to see me
         G            C              GEm  G             C
                                    |  |                 
You can tell her that I'm easily found        Tell her there's a spot out
      G        Em                  D                          Dm7      C
`neath Abram's Bridge  And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
D                         C G       C
There's a darkness on the edge of town
  G                   C              G                             C
Everybody's got a secret Sonny  Something that they just can't face
                   G                           C
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
               G                               C
They carry it with them every step that they take
      G          C             G  Em        G          C           GEm

Till some day they just cut it loose     Cut it loose or let it drag `em down
              G         C                    G         Em
Where no one asks any questions  Or looks too long in your face
       D               Dm7      C     D                         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
