Verse
C# F# C# F#
I told them I take photos for this magazine
C# F# C# C#
They let me in to see you comb your hair
F# G# C#
I watched for signs as I came through that door
F# G# C#
The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for
F# G#
It's no use hoping I'm a dream
[Chorus]
C#
Oh Marliese
G# F# C# F# G#
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
C#
Oh Marliese
G# F# C# F# G#
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]
C#
Oh Marliese
G# F# C# F# G#
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
C#
Oh Marliese
G# F# C# F# G#
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]
C#
Oh Marliese
G# F# C# F# G#
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
C#
Oh Marliese
G# F# C# F# G#
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace
