F             C              Dm
I can see the turning of the key

     Bb                   F               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     Bb               F
But somethin's telling me I wear the ball and chain 

   F               C                 Dm
My patron saint is fighting with the ghost 

     Bb             F                     C
He's always off somewhere when I need him most 

    Am                            Bb
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill 

       F        Bb      C    Bb       F
But my heart is telling me I love you still 

F           C            Dm
Everybody's wearin' a disguise 

   Bb                    F                 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 Bb           F
Wherever the children go I'll follow them 

  F              C            Dm
I march in the parade of liberty 

       Bb                 F       C
But as long as I love you I'm not free 

    Am                       Bb
How long must I suffer such abuse? 

          F      Bb       C       Bb              F
Won't you let me see your smile before I turn you loose? 
F C Dm Bb F C Am Bb F C F
   F               C              Dm
We sat in an empty theatre and we kissed 

  Bb                  F                 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     Bb                   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 

     Bb             F               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    Bb                 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 

  Bb             F                  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             Bb          F
Won't you let me in your room one time before I finally disappear?
