hard edges Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am][C][G]
[Am][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Lisa used [G]to love
to dance
Ever since she was ten years [C]old
Her bare feet raising dust on a yard
Where the grass wouldn't [G]grow

[Verse 2]
Slowly spinning [G]round and round
To the music playing in her [C]head
Late at night it could almost drown out

[Verse 3]
The whiskey on her old man's breath
[D]The wrecking yards and din[Em]gy bars
And aban[C]doned factories
[D]But down among the jag[Em]ged souls
[C]A ballerina sways unseen

[Verse 4]
[G]
Hard edges hide [Am]a tender hea[C]rt
Silent as a midnight [G]prayer[D][G]
Hard edges [Am]hide the sweetest [C]part
Till you'd [D]never know it's [G]there

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C]
[G][Am][C]
[G]

[Verse 5]
Lisa's in [G]a club downtown
Where the neon burns till [C]dawn
She calls herself Tina now
But she dances to the same
old [G]songs

[Verse 6]
Slowly spinning [G]round and round
In the smoke and the smell of [C]rye
She takes off all her clothes

[Verse 7]
So they don't see down in her eyes
[D]The scarlet rouge and blu[Em]e tat[C]toos
Are only painted [D]on
But underneath [Em]the dark drumbeat
[C]A ballerina dances on[G]

[Verse 8]
Hard [G]edges hide [Am]a tender hea[C]rt
Silent as a midnight [G]prayer[D][G]
Hard edges hide [Am]the sweetest
[C]part[D][G][Am]
[C]
Till you [D]never know it's there

[Outro 1]
