Hard Shoulder Cifras

[Intro]
C C C C
 
[Verse 1]
C                                     Em
We were an hour the wrong side of the Avon
         F                   C
When the old van gave up the fight
    C                        Em
You pulled your bags off the back seat
        F                      C
Left me there, walked into the night
    Dm                           Am
Now I didn't mind picking up the pieces
                F                    C
Sorting out the gear waiting for the light
    Dm                         Am
But standing there on the hard shoulder
             F                       G
I ran out of strength to make things right
 
[Verse 2]
C                           Em
We go back to school in the city
         F                        C
First in line for the back of the class
   C                                Em
Or out on the field looking for the action
           F                       G
Buried in a ruck with a punch or a laugh
Dm                     Am
You left when you were fifteen
         F                 C
I stayed on for the safety net
            Dm             Am
It broke my fall that cold morning
                 F                    G
You were falling then have you landed yet?
 
[Chorus]
      F        C
No surprise no mystery
        G                  F
What we are or where we're from
    Dm        C
Our lives our history
     F
In a song

[Verse 3]
    C                   Em
Now I got word you were working
                 F                  C
The bars and the pubs all along the coast
       C                              Em
Well I parked the car and I heard you singing
               F                              G
My face at the window must have looked like a ghost
  Dm                        Am
Forget the stuff we wrote together
   F                      C
No compromise you used to boast
    Dm                                 Am
But hearing you play all that boy band cover trash
    F                               G
Now that's what really hurts me the most
 
[Chorus]
      F        C
No surprise no mystery
        G                  F
What we are or where we're from
    Dm        C
Our lives our history
        F
In your song

[Verse 4]
C                          Em
You once said if you don't use it
                F           C
You'll wake one day find it gone
C                              Em
Your guitar is standing in the corner
               F                              G
Why don't you come around here prove yourself wrong
Dm                   Am
We might be a little older now
                F                      C
Ah you know the heart beat is still as strong
    Dm                         Am
And anyway I've got this hard shoulder now
     F                    G
That you might wanna lean upon
 
[Chorus]
      F        C
No surprise no mystery
        G                  F
What we are or where we're from
    Dm        C
Our lives our history
        F
In your song
