F C Dm I can see the turning of the key Gm Fmaj7 C I ve been deceived by the clown inside of me Am Bb I thought that he was right but he's afraid F Bb 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 Fm C He's always off somewhere when I need him most Am Bb The Spanish moon is rising on the hill F Bb C F But my heart is telling me I love you still F C Dm Everybody's wearin' a disguise Gm Fmaj7 C To hide what they've got left behind their Eyes Am Bb But me I can't cover what I am F Bb C F Wherever the children go I'll follow them F C Dm I march in the parade of liberty Gm Fmaj7 C But as long as I love you I'm not free Am Bb How long must I suffer such abuse? F Bb C F Won't you let me see your smile before I turn you loose?

F C Dm We sat in an empty theatre and we kissed Gm Fmaj7 C I asked you please to cross me off your list Am Bb My head tells me it's time to make a change F Bb 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 Fmaj7 C Take off your heavy makeup and your Shawl Am Bb Won't you come down from the throne from where you sit? F Bb 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 Fmaj7 C I see you in the street, I began to swoon Am Bb I love to see you dress before the mirror F Bb C F Won't you let me in your room one time before I finally disappear?
