The Razorsedge

Lyrics and Chords

RIFF Throughout     F#—E-

F#7                    F#7sus

My head’s in the dark, my heart’s on the loose

F#7                    F#7sus

It’s the dogs in the alley I can’t refuse

F#7                    F#7sus

I beat the drum to the winds of change

F#7                    F#7sus

But the winds of change are out of my range

B7                F#7sus

I’m part of the city, it’s part of me

B7

We’re part of something that can not be seen

F#7                F#7sus                     F#7                    F#7sus

One half’s dirty and the other half’s clean

C#

The past’s pain leaves the deepest stain

B

People, where are you?

F#7                F#7sus

On the razorsedge

C#min7                Bmin7

Is where the action is

F#7                F#7sus

On the razorsedge

C#min7                Bmin7

Love is avarice

F#7                F#7sus                                                  C#min7                Bmin7

Cut through you, cut through you like a razorblade

F#7                F#7sus

Five days a week I slammed the door

F#7                F#7sus

Breathed the dirt and the hammer of the factory floor

F#7                F#7sus

But the things you hide far beneath

F#7                F#7sus

Just rise to the surface as you try to sleep

B7                F#7sus

Is what you do worth what you get paid

B7

When it stays with you twenty four hours a day?

B7                F#7sus                                        B7                F#7sus

My mind was blocked, I needed someone to pick my locks

C#

I had to get out, I had to breakthrough

B

People, where are you?

F#7

F#7sus

On the razorsedge

C#min7                Bmin7

Is where the action is

C#min7                Bmin7

Love is avarice

F#7                F#7sus                                                  C#min7                Bmin7

Cut through you, cut through you like a razorblade

B

Sometimes I’m wasted on things that are cheap

B

There’s never nothing I want to keep

F#

I get drunk too much

F#

I know I’m leaning on a broken crutch

B

There’s a knife at my back

B

There’s a gun at my head

B

But somehow I scramble back from the daed

A

When I try to keep the wolves at bay

E

The wolves always end up getting their own way

SOLO : Verse Chords

Lord knows, I’ve tried to save certain things

F#7            F#7sus

But on me and mine fortune never smiled

It’s like she was the mother of a beautiful angel

F#7            F#7sus

I was the father of a screaming child

B

It’s a habit of mine to talk all the time

B

I’m gonna say what I mean;

F#7            F#7sus

One half’s dirty

F#7            F#7sus

And the other half’s clean

C#

They say we’re part of a greater scheme

Lyrics

My head’s in the dark, my heart’s on the loose
It’s the dogs in the alley I can’t refuse
I beat the drum to the winds of change
But the winds of change are out of my range
I’m part of the city, it’s part of me
We’re part of something that can not be seen
One half’s dirty and the other half’s clean
The past’s pain leaves the deepest stain

People, where are you?

On the razorsedge
Is where the action is
On the razorsedge
Love is avarice

Five days a week I slammed the door
Breathed the dirt and the hammer of the factory floor
But the things you hide far beneath
Just rise to the surface as you try to sleep
Is what you do worth what you get paid
When it stays with you twenty four hours a day?
My mind was blocked, I needed someone to pick my locks
I had to get out, I had to breakthrough

People, where are you?

On the razorsedge
Is where the action is
On the razorsedge
Love is avarice
Cut through you, cut through you like a razorblade

Sometimes I’m wasted on things that are cheap
Theres never nothing I want to keep
I get drunk too much
I know I’m leaning on a broken crutch

When I try to keep the wolves at bay
The wolves always end up getting their own way
