| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| My heart | is telling | me, I love you | still |
| G | D/F# | Em |
| I can see | the turning of the | key |
| C | C/B | D | |
| I’ve been | deceived | by the clown inside of | me |
| Bm | Bm7 | C | |
| I | thought that he | was righteous but he’s | vain |
| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| Something’s telling me, | I’ll wear the ball and | chain |
| G | D/F# | Em |
| My patron | saint is a-fighting with | a ghost |
| C | C/B | D | |
| He’s | always off | somewhere when I need him | most |
| Bm | Bm7 | C |
| The Spanish moon is | rising on the hill |
| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| But | something’s telling | me, I love you still |
| G | D/F# | Em |
| I come back | to the town from | the flaming ruins |
| C | C/B | D | |
| But when | I see you | in the street I begin | to swoon |
| Bm | Bm7 | C |
| I love to see you | dress before the mirror |
| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| Won’t | you let me in | your room one time, before | I finally disappear |
| G | D/F# | Em |
| Everybody’s wearing a | disguise |
| C | C/B | D | |
| To hide | what they’ve | got left behind their | eyes |
| Bm | Bm7 | C |
| But me I can’t | cover what I am |
| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| Wherever their children | go, I’ll follow them |
| G | D/F# | Em |
| I’m | marching the parade of | liberty |
| C | C/B | D | |
| But | as long as I | love you I’m not free |
| Bm | Bm7 | C |
| How long must I | suffer such abuse |
| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| Won’t | you let me see | you smile, before I turn | you loose |
| G | D/F# | Em |
| I’ve given | up the game I’ve | got to leave |
| C | C/B | D | |
| The | pot of gold | is only make believe |
| Bm | Bm7 | C |
| The treasure can’t | be found by men who | search |
| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| Who’s | gods are dead and | whose queens are in the | church |
| G | D/F# | Em |
| We sat in | an empty theater | and we kissed |
| C | C/B | D | |
| I asked | you please | to cross me off your | list |
| Bm | Bm7 | C |
| My head tells me it | ’s time to make a | change |
| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| But my | heart is telling | me, I love you but | you’re strange |
| G | D/F# | Em |
| So one | more time at midnight | near the wall |
| C | C/B | D | |
| Take | off your | heavy makeup and your | shawl |
| Bm | Bm7 | C |
| Won’t you descend | from the throne from | whence you sit |
| G | Cadd9 | D | G |
| And let | me feel your | love one more time, before | I finally abandon it |
