A#
Proud swagger out of the school yard
                                D#
Waiting for the world's applause
Rebel without a conscience
                      A#
Martyr without a cause
Static on your frequency
                              D#
Electrical storm in your veins
Raging at unreachable glory
                             A#
Straining at invisible chains

                               F         A#
And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
                     F         D#
Staring down into a heartless sea
                      F        D#
Can't face life on a razor's edge
                                     Dm Am C
Nothing's what you thought it would be

Chorus:
Dm                         Am
All of us get lost in the darkness
  C                Dm               Am C
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
Dm                        Am
All of us do time in the gutter
  C               Dm
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
  Am                   F               D#
Turn around and turn around and turn around
                                     F D#
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me

It's not as if this barricade
Blocks the only road
It's not as if you're all alone
In wanting to explode
Someone set a bad example
Made surrender seem all right
The act of a noble warrior
Who lost the will to fight

And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Done with life on a razor's edge
Nothing's what you thought it would be

Chorus:
All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me

                        F A#
No hero in your tragedy
                        F D#
No daring in your escape
                            F D#
No salutes for your surrender
                           F D#
Nothing noble in your fate
                            Dm Am C
Christ, what have you done?

Chorus:
All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me
