[Verse]
E
Everybody's intent on killing someone
E
The streets are closed and there's a kid on the run
G#m A
The bullets scream out from gun to gun
E
Everybody's intent on being someone
[Verse]
E
The cold and darkness of the criminal dawn
E
Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep themselves warm
G#m A
E child in the arms of a teenage mum
G#m A E D A
Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?
[Chorus]
E C
Old friends meet on the edge of town
A E D
Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better
E C
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
A Am
Not knowing what's around the corner
C D E
Are we living for an uncertain future?
[Verse]
E
Down by the corner sits a broken man
E
Lives by the bottle, swears never again
G#m A
Lost his money on the dogs and gin
E
He looks for his supper in garbage can
[Verse]
E
The kids hang around by the old school ground
E
Right by the river where the body was found
G#m A
Throwing stones on hallowed ground
C#m A E D A
Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?
[Chorus]
E C
Old friends meet on the edge of town

Not knowing what's around the corner
