F C F

F C Dm
i can see the turning of the key
Gm C
ive been deceived by the clown inside of me
Am A#
i thought that he was right but he’s afraid
F C F
but somethin’s telling me i wear the ball and chain

F C Dm
my patron saint is fighting with the ghost
Gm C
he’s always off somewhere when i need him most
Am A#
the spanish moon is rising on the hill
F C F
but my heart is telling me i love you still

F C Dm
everybody’s wearin’ a disguise
Gm C
to hide what they’ve got left behind their eyes
Am A#
but me i can’t cover what i Am
F C F
wherever the children go i’ll follow them

F C Dm
i march in the parade of liberty
Gm C
but as long as i love you i’m not free
Am A#
how long must i suffer such abuse?
F C F
won’t you let me see your smile before i turn you loose?

F C Dm Gm C Am A# F C F

F C Dm
we sat in an empty theatre and we kissed
Gm C
i asked you please to cross me off your list
Am A#
my head tells me it’s time to make a change
F C F
but my heart is telling me “i love you , but you’re strange”

F C Dm
so one more time at midnight near the wall
Gm C
take off your heavy makeup and your shawl
Am A#
won’t you come down from the throne from where you sit?
F C F
let me feel your love one more time , before i abandon it .

F C Dm
i come back to the town from the flamin’ moon
Gm C
i see you in the street , i began to swoon
Am A#
i love to see you dress before the mirror
F C F
won’t you let me in your room one time before i finally disappear?

F C Dm Gm C Am A# F C F . . .
