Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife

D                               C           D
His hungry little children, he took their lives

This was the end of a desperate... man

D                           C         D
With only love in his eyes, no evil hands
[Chorus 1]
D                       G         D
He was standing at the sky's edge

     F             G               D
And out there who knows what he's thinking

D                         G
He was sliding down the razor's edge

D                      G       D      C       F D
And watched his life slowly sinking, Away,... away

She had to sell her body to put shoes on her feet

D                         G      D
Stole a car and tried to get...away

D                                             C     D
Now all she hears is the rain on the roof at sky's edge jail
[Chorus 1]
          F              G     D
She was standing at the sky's edge

         F          G                D
And out there who knows what she's thinking

          F                G      D
She was sliding down the razor's edge

                 F     G       D      C      F D
And watched her life slowly sinking, Away... away

D                        G         D
Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade

D                             C          D
So much fear in the city it carried him away

D                            G            D
Young men were fighting and losing their lives

D                                                 C     D
At night as the screech howls in the trees watch young men die
[Chorus 2]
            F              G    D
They were standing at the sky's edge

They were sliding down the razor's edge

                    F     G      D
And watched their lives slowly sinking

             F             G     D
They were standing at the sky's edge

     F                   G         D
And out there there's dangerous thinking

             F              G       D
They were standing at the mirror's edge

                   F      G       D
And watched their lives slowly sinking

C     F D    C     F D   C  F D
Away, away, away, away, away
