Chords

[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
