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

F# B F# B
It's no use crying out ‘cos they can’t help you now.
F# B F# F#
You're forced to hear the words I have to say
B C# F#
I saw your face when I was taken down
B C# F#
You seemed so pleased, you’re not so happy now
B C#
It's your turn to be afraid
(chorus x 2)

So where’s the smooth composure of the movie star
F# B F# F#
You must have played this many times before
B C# F#
Do I see tears? Well surely that’s not true
B C# F#
Don’t kid yourself, it’s not worth hurting you.
B C#
But remember when you try to sleep.
