Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “The Edge of America” dari Duran Duran.
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
