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