Hardline by Waylon Jennings
Key: EmEm | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    



Em        Am
Midnight, street light,
Em                  Am
Shadows, touch your face
Em       F           bass on 4th F E
Whisper, goodnight,
Dm                        A#    B(bass)
Though I want you so, to  stay.
Chorus:
                    C        
I'm standing on the hardline,
G          Am        Am(G)
Taking my  sweet time
F
Praying that you'll  see why,
A#   B       C
I' m slow to change.
C
Been fighting on the front line,
G          Am        Am(G)
Victim of a  heart crime
F                             A# B C
Just can't let you steal mine away
Em      Am       Em        Am
Listen, reasons never will explain.
Em                  F
Freedom, is just to save time,
         Dm            
'Til I'm strong enough,
                A#  B
To bend and not break.
Chorus:
                    C        
I'm standing on the hardline,
G          Am        Am(G)
Taking my  sweet time
F
Praying that you'll  see why,
A#   B       C
I' m slow to change.
         Am
Well, I  need your trust,
Am(G)                F
Don't give up, don't shut me down,
     C
I'll open up,
Dm  Dm(E)  Dm(F) Dm(F#) G           (notes in the brackets are bass notes on 4th string)
If you just try love my way.
