Verse
G# C# G# C#
I told them I take photos for this magazine
G# C# G# G#
They let me in to see you comb your hair
C# D# G#
I watched for signs as I came through that door
C# D# G#
The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for
C# D#
It's no use hoping I'm a dream
[Chorus]
G#
Oh Marliese
D# C# G# C# D#
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
G#
Oh Marliese
D# C# G# C# D#
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace
[Verse 2]
It's no use crying out 'cos they can't help you now
You're forced to hear the words I have to say
I saw your face when I was taken down
You seemed so pleased, you're not so happy now
It's your turn to be afraid
[Chorus]
G#
Oh Marliese
D# C# G# C# D#
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
G#
Oh Marliese
D# C# G# C# D#
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace
[Verse 3]
So where's the smooth composure of the movie star
You must have played this many times before
Do I see tears? Well surely that's not true
Don't kid yourself, it's not worth hurting you
But remember when you try to sleep
[Chorus]
G#
Oh Marliese
D# C# G# C# D#
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
G#
Oh Marliese
D# C# G# C# D#
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace
