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
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
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
F#7 F#7sus
Lord knows, I’ve tried to save certain things
F#7 F#7sus
But on me and mine fortune never smiled
F#7 F#7sus
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
B
I believe it’s true
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
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
