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