[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 Em
The wrecking yards and dingy bars
C
And abandoned factories
D Em
But down among the jagged souls
C
A ballerina sways unseen
G Am
Hard edges hide a tender heart
C G
Silent as a midnight prayer
G Am
Hard edges hide the sweetest part
C 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
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
G Am
Hard edges hide a tender heart
C G
Silent as a midnight prayer
G Am
Hard edges hide the sweetest part
C G
Till you never know it's there
Four bars of G
Four bars of C
