Intro
C# – F# – C# - F#
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
F# G# C# F# G#
The waiting almost brought me to my knees.
C#
Oh Marliese
F# G# C# F# G#
You didn’t really think I’d leave you in peace.
Intro again
C# F# C# F#
It's no use crying out ‘cos they can’t help you now.
C# F# C# C#
You're forced to hear the words I have to say
F# G# C#
I saw your face when I was taken down
F# G# C#
You seemed so pleased, you’re not so happy now
F# G#
It's your turn to be afraid
(chorus x 2)
C# F# C# F#
So where’s the smooth composure of the movie star
C# F# C# C#
You must have played this many times before
F# G# C#
Do I see tears? Well surely that’s not true
F# G# C#
Don’t kid yourself, it’s not worth hurting you.
F# G#
But remember when you try to sleep.
