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