Michael Card – The Edge (Guitar)

Dm               F
Most of us will never know

     C                    G/B
How dark this world can seem

      Dm                 Bb                 C
When life becomes more nightmare than a dream

      Dm                F
So to all of you who have survived

    C            G/B
A visit to the edge

   Bb                   Gm              C
I trust that you will understand this pledge

    Bb             C
I promise I will always leave

      F                  G
The darkness for the light

  Bb/D                C/E
I swear by all that's holy

        F                  G
I will not give up the fight

      Bb                    Gm
I'll drink down death like water

          C
Before I ever come again

         Dm                 Bb
To that dark place where I might make

      C
The choice for life to end

      Dm               F
I've found that as I traveled

              C             G/B
Through the inscape of my life

       Dm                Bb             C
That mountaintops make valleys in between

     Dm                  F
And when that nameless sadness

         C               G/B
Like a cloud comes over me

        Bb               Gm               C
I look back on all the brightness I have seen

    Bb             C
I promise I will always leave

      F                 G
The darkness for the light

  Bb/D                C/E
I swear by all that's holy

        F                 G
I will not give up the fight

      Bb                    Gm
I'll drink down death like water

          C
Before I ever come again

         Dm                 Bb
To that dark place where I might make

      C
The choice for life to end

      Am
And realize that though my world

       Em
Might seem so torn apart

      Bb                                Gm
Most often it is joy that breaks the heart

     Am
And that I am the richest man

       Em
Though I must beg for bread

         Bb
For the very One who might condemn

      Gm                 C
Has called me friend instead

    Bb             C
I promise I will always leave

      F                 G
The darkness for the light

  Bb/D                C/E
I swear by all that's holy

        F                 G
I will not give up the fight

      Bb                    Gm
I'll drink down death like water

          C
Before I ever come again

         Dm                 Bb
To that dark place where I might make

      C
The choice for life to end

Dm
  I will always leave the darkness for the light

        G                  Dm   Am   F   G
I will not give up the fight
