[Intro] 
|    G|    G|    G|    G|
[Verse]
GLisa used to love to dance
Ever since she was ten years old
CHer bare feet raising dust on a yard
Where the grass wouldn't grow
GSlowly spinning round and round
To the music playing in her head
CLate at night it could almost drown out
The whiskey on her old man's breath
[Pre-chorus]
DThe wrecking yards and Emdingy bars
CAnd abandoned factories
DBut down among the Emjagged souls
CA ballerina sways unseen
[Chorus]
  GHard edges hide Ama tender heart
  CSilent as a midnight Gprayer
  GHard edges hide Amthe sweetest part
  CTill you'd Dnever know it's Gthere
[Verse]
GLisa's in a club downtown
Where the neon burns till dawn
CShe calls herself Tina now
But she dances to the same old songs
GSlowly spinning round and round
In the smoke and the smell of rye
CShe takes off all her clothes
So they don't see down in her eyes
[Pre-chorus]
DThe scarlet rouge and Emblue tattoos
CAre only painted on
DBut underneath the Emdark drumbeat
CA ballerina dances on ... on and on
[Chorus]
  GHard edges hide Ama tender heart
  CSilent as a midnight Gprayer
  GHard edges hide Amthe sweetest part
  CTill you'd Dnever know it's Gthere
  GHard edges hide Ama tender heart
  CTill you'd Dnever know it's Gthere

[Verse]

Lisa used to love to dance

Ever since she was ten years old

Her bare feet raising dust on a yard

Where the grass wouldn't grow

Slowly spinning round and round

To the music playing in her head

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

And abandoned factories

D Em

But down among the jagged souls

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]

Lisa's in a club downtown

Where the neon burns till dawn

She calls herself Tina now

But she dances to the same old songs

Slowly spinning round and round

In the smoke and the smell of rye

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

Are only painted on

D Em

But underneath the dark drumbeat

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
