      C#m  
Hard liner,  
           F#m               A  
she brings ice when I bring fire.  
              C#m  
She's a hard liner.  
                   F#m                   E  
Tightrope 'cross Niagara. She'd cut the wire.  
               Am  
Never feel a thing.  
   
Walked the sidewalk of another strange avenue.  
 Em                                         G  
Kicked my heels and wished my feet were in some other shoes.  
             Am  
But I'm not running  
                C#m  
from that hard liner.  
 
                F#m               A  
Well she brings ice when I bring fire.  
                   C#m  
She's a real hard liner.  
                F#m               E  
How does she retain my heart's desire?  
               Am  
It's a funny thing.  
   
Knows what she wants, knows how to get it, too.  
  Em                         G  
Scares me with cold logic, scares me with the witch's brew.  
                Am  
But I keep on drinking.  
      C#m  
Hard liner.

      C#m  
Hard liner.  
                    F#m            A  
I'm framed and I'm hanging on the wall.  
              C#m  
She's a hard liner.  
               F#m             E                Am  
I'm like some big game trophy hat-stand in the hall.  
   
But I remember warm and loving nights.  
 Em  
Her {red?} hair, restaurants,  
  G  
Swaying bust, headlights  
Am  
It's a funny thing.  
 
      C#m  
Hard liner.  
                 F#m               A  
Yeah, she brings ice when I bring fire.  
      C#m  
Hard liner.  
                   F#m                  A  
Tightrope 'cross Niagara, don't cut my wire.  
      C#m  
Hard liner, hard, hard liner.  
            F#m              A  
She brings sun when I bring rain.  
                   C#m  
She's a real hard liner.  
                   F#m              A  
Yeah, we've got it all crossed up again.  
 
      C#m  
Hard liner. Hard liner.  
   
Now I don't think we can stay in the same town.
