This pattern is repeated in the background from here on:

Livin` On The Edge (you can`t help yourself from falling) Livin` On The Edge (you can`t help yourself at all) Livin` On The Edge (you can`t stop yourself from falling) Livin` On The Edge Livin` On The Edge (you can`t help yourself) (you can`t help yourself) Livin` On The Edge (you can`t help yourself at all) Livin` On The Edge (you can`t help yourself) (you can`t help yourself) Livin` On The Edge (you can`t help yourself) (you can`t help yourself) Livin` On The Edge (you can`t help yourself from falling) Livin` On The Edge, yeah, yeah...

I didn`t include the guitar solo because all the little nuances (bend here, use slide here, bend-and-release here, etc.) make it a bitch to get into ASCII notation. It`s fairly simple to play if you can get the hang of using a slide on and off (easier said than done!). I`m not sure if my "b" and "r" notation is standard, so if you don`t understand, feel free to drop me a line and I will clarify myself.
