Intro F  G  Am (x3)   then  Am/F#


Verse1

F                    Am
Open up my eyes, to face another day 
        F                 Am
And I start to struggle, who will I obey
F                         Am
Temptation surrounds me, trying to resist
Am/F#
I may end up winning, or end up caving in  


Chorus

      F  G           Am
This is life on the edge
         F    G                  Am
Tell me I’m meant for more than this
        F          G        Am
I get closer and closer to regret  
F                    G                           F  Am  F  Am  F  Am  Am/F#
Wont someone pull me in, from livin on the edge

Verse2

F                        Am
Conviction comes easy, never seems to stay
F                       Am
Avoiding my family, I wonder what they’d say
F                          Am
If they knew the endless circles I have run
Am/F3
Would mom or dad still love me, no matter what I‘ve done

(Chorus)

Verse3

F                       Am
So I pray to God with nothing left to lose
F                               Am
Cause I’ve spent my heart, and now I have to chose
F                     Am
Between this madness, or a second chance
Am/F#
Well the future won’t be easy but neither was my past


Chorus X2

F        G           Am
This is life on the edge
F         G                  Am
Yes I’m meant for more than this
        F          G         Am
I get closer and closer to regret
F             G
God pulls me in   

                                F G
From living on the edge
Am                   F G Am  
Living on the edge   ( fade out )

after the 3rd verse, the chorus' 3rd line turns to "i move farther and farther from regret". if you need a sample go to, "higherpraise.com/YouthDefault2/LifeOnTheEdge.htm"

after 3rd verse, chorus line two says, "Yes I'm meant for more than this". "chose" should be "choose". after 2nd verse, chorus line fours', "from living on the edge" repeats twice; three times after 3rd verse
