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