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