Dsus4 Am Walk the edge of America. Dsus4 Am A concrete beach to scrape my hand. F G Inside the subway stinking fear and shame Am G Am becomes the violent breath. Vigilantes out on dawn patrol But now there's nothing left to hide I'm just a number on the metal fence Which marks the great divide Chorus: F Am Hey boy, Give your dreams a rest F D If you're tired of searching, this is where it ends. There's nothing F Am left to lose - nothing to protest. E Learn to love your anger now. G D7 F Anger here is all you possess. Am 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?
