Intro
E B E
My heart is telling me, I love you still
Verses:
E C#m
I can see the turning of the key
A B
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
G#m A
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
E B E
Something's telling me, I wear the ball and chain
(same chords throughout)
E C#m
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
A B
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
G#m A
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
E B E
But something's telling me, I love you still
E C#m
I come back to the town from the flaming ruins
A B
But when I see you in the street I begin to swoon
G#m A
I love to see you dress before the mirror
E B E
Won't you let me in your room one time, before I finally disappear
E C#m
Everybody's wearing a disguise
A B
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
G#m A
But me I can't cover what I am
E B E
Wherever their children go, I'll follow them
E C#m
I'm marching the parade of liberty
A B
But as long as I love you I'm not free
G#m A
How long must I suffer such abuse
E B E
Won't you let me see you smile, before I turn you loose
E C#m
I've given up the game I've got to leave
A B
The pot of gold is only make believe
G#m A
The treasure can't be found by men who search
E B E
Who's gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
E C#m
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed
A B
I asked you please to cross me off your list
G#m A
My head tells me it's time to make a change
E B E
But my heart is telling me, I love you but you're strange
(Harmonica solo, same chords as verse)
E C#m
So one more time at midnight near the wall
A B
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl
G#M A
Won't you descend from the throne from whence you sit
E B E
And let me feel your love one more time, before I finally abandon it
