Hard Edges Chris Knight
(Intro)
Four bars of G
Four bars of C
(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
(Chorus)
[D]The wrecking yards and [Em]dingy bars
[C]And abandoned factories
[D]But down among the [Em]jagged souls
[C]A ballerina sways unseen
[G]Hard edges hide a [Am]tender heart
[C]Silent as a midnight [G]prayer
[G]Hard edges hide the [Am]sweetest part
[C]Till you'd never know it's [G]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
[D]The scarlet rouge and [Em]blue tattoos
[C]Are only painted on
[D]But underneath the [Em]dark drumbeat
[C]A ballerina dances on
[G]Hard edges hide [Am]a tender heart
[C]Silent as a midnight [G]prayer
[G]Hard edges hide [Am]the sweetest part
[C]Till you never know [G]it's there
