STEVE HARLEY BALLERINA(PRIMADONNA) 1983



INTRO :      G     C

   CHORUS:

    G   D   Em      G
Ballerina, prima donna
          C              G
Take your shoes and your shellac
              Bm                  C
Get out of my life and don't come back
                 D                  G
I've played your games for far too long

   VERSE 1
        Em       D                    C            G
Was it you who mesmerised me, or the Covent Garden lights
      C           G                       Am            D
That thrilled and hypnotised me on those long fantastic nights?
C                  D                  Em              C
You nearly took me in, you wore that smile upon your face
    G          C               G              C               D
But I began to wake up when I saw behind the make-up and the lace


    2ND CHORUS

C     D          Em
Ballerina, prima donna
           C             G
Take your shoes and your shellac
              Bm                  C
Get out of my life and don't come back
                  D                 G
I've played your games for far too long
C     D           Em
Ballerina, prima donna
           C                G
Take your tantrums and your lies
           Bm                     C
Take your moods and your midnight cries
         D                    G                    C    G
I won't miss you when you're gone


   VERSE 2
        Em           D                    C                G
Now that I know you well, I see our love affair was just a fling
         C           G                  A           D
So with these final words I leave this crazy circus ring
  C             D           Em              C
I cry no wasted tears as I show you to the door
         G              C           G               C         D        Dsus4    D
You can love or you can hate me, but you won't manipulate me anymore


     3RD CHORUS
C      D         Em
Ballerina, prima donna
          C               G
Take your shoes and your shellac
               Bm                 C
Get out of my life and don't come back
                 D                  G           Gsus4
I've played your games for far too long
C     D          Em
Ballerina, prima donna
           C                  G
Take your tantrums and your lies
           Bm                     C
Take your moods and your midnight cries
         D                    G
I won't miss you when you're gone

Get out of my life and don't come back
                 D                  G
I've played your games for far too long
C     D           Em
Ballerina, prima donna
           C                G
Take your tantrums and your lies

Take your moods and your midnight cries
         D                   G
I won't miss you when you're gone


     FADE OUT REPRISE

G          D     C
