Hard Edges Cifras

[Intro]
| G   | G   | G   | G   |
 
[Verse]
G
Lisa used to love to dance
Ever since she was ten years old
C
Her bare feet raising dust on a yard
Where the grass wouldn't grow
G
Slowly spinning round and round
To the music playing in her head
C
Late at night it could almost drown out
The whiskey on her old man's breath
 
[Pre-chorus]
D                      Em
The wrecking yards and dingy bars
C
And abandoned factories
D                  Em
But down among the jagged souls
C
A ballerina sways unseen
 
[Chorus]
G                Am
  Hard edges hide a tender heart
C                      G
  Silent as a midnight prayer
G                Am
  Hard edges hide the sweetest part
C            D               G
  Till you'd never know it's there
 
[Verse]
G
Lisa's in a club downtown
Where the neon burns till dawn
C
She calls herself Tina now
But she dances to the same old songs
 
G
Slowly spinning round and round
In the smoke and the smell of rye
C
She takes off all her clothes
So they don't see down in her eyes
 
[Pre-chorus]
D                     Em
The scarlet rouge and blue tattoos
C
Are only painted on
D                  Em
But underneath the dark drumbeat
C
A ballerina dances on ... on and on
 
[Chorus]
G                Am
  Hard edges hide a tender heart
C                      G
  Silent as a midnight prayer
G                Am
  Hard edges hide the sweetest part
C            D               G
  Till you'd never know it's there
 
G                Am
  Hard edges hide a tender heart
C            D               G
  Till you'd never know it's there
