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