Intro
C G C
My heart is telling me, I love you still
Verses:
C Am
I can see the turning of the key
F G
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
Em 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 Am
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
F G
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
Em F
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
C G C
But something's telling me, I love you still
C Am
I come back to the town from the flaming ruins
F G
But when I see you in the street I begin to swoon
Em 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 Am
Everybody's wearing a disguise
F G
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Em F
But me I can't cover what I am
C G C
Wherever their children go, I'll follow them
C Am
I'm marching the parade of liberty
F G
But as long as I love you I'm not free
Em 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 Am
I've given up the game I've got to leave
F G
The pot of gold is only make believe
Em 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 Am
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed
F G
I asked you please to cross me off your list
Em 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 Am
So one more time at midnight near the wall
F G
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl
EM 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
