G                   D              G 
My heart is telling me, I love you still 

G                             Em 
I can see the turning of the key 
          C                               D 
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me 
  Bm                                     C 
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain 
G                   D                       G 
Something's telling me, I wear the ball and chain 

G                             Em 
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost 
          C                               D 
He's always off somewhere when I need him most 
  Bm                                     C 
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill 
G                   D                       G 
But something's telling me, I love you still 

G                             Em 
I come back to the town from the flaming ruins 
          C                               D 
But when I see you in the street I begin to swoon 
  Bm                                     C 
I love to see you dress before the mirror 
G                   D                       G 
Won't you let me in your room one time, before I finally disappear 

G                             Em 
Everybody's wearing a disguise 
          C                               D 
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes 
  Bm                           C 
But me I can't cover what I am 
G                   D                       G 
Wherever their children go, I'll follow them 

G                             Em 
I'm marching the parade of liberty 
          C                               D 
But as long as I love you I'm not free 
  Bm                              C 
How long must I suffer such abuse 
G                   D                       G 
Won't you let me see you smile, before I turn you loose 

G                             Em 
I've given up the game I've got to leave 
          C                               D 
The pot of gold is only make believe 
  Bm                                     C 
The treasure can't be found by men who search 
G                   D                       G 
Who's gods are dead and whose queens are in the church 

G                             Em 
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed 
          C                               D 
I asked you please to cross me off your list 
  Bm                                     C 
My head tells me it's time to make a change 
G                   D                       G 
But my heart is telling me, I love you but you're strange 

**Harmonica Solo: Same Chords As Verse 

G                             Em 
So one more time at midnight near the wall 
          C                               D 
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl 
  Bm                                     C 
Won't you descend from the throne from whence you sit 
G                   D                       G 
And let me feel your love one more time, before I finally abandon it
