Biography:
Middle Kids is an indie band from Sydney, Australia. In 2016 they released the single Edge of Town, a non-fictional account of a girl who got swallowed up by the earth. It is the lonely wail of a single slide steel guitar, the distorted mess of indecision, and the comfort of a familiar melody.

[Intro]
G C
[Verse 1]
G
I cannot remember anything you say
C
When the streets are talking, yeah, they call my name
G
And I walk a little further, I could go all day
C
And the trees are reaching, pointing out the way
[Chorus]
Em G
I got all muddled up and journeyed to the edge of town
C Am
And then the road cracked open, sucked me in and I went down
Em G
I'm standing face to face with the king of the underground
Cmaj7 Am
Some things just don't add up, I'm upside down, I'm inside out

[Verse 2]
G
I came a little closer to the truth that day
C
When I heard its call in the alleyway
G
And the one resounding answer that I could take
C
Was that I don't know nothing and I got no way
[Chorus]
Em G
I got all muddled up and journeyed to the edge of town
C Am
And then the road cracked open, sucked me in and I went down
Em G
I'm standing face to face with the king of the underground
