Marliese

  G                C               G         C
I told them I take photos for this magazine
     G            C                 G        G
They let me in to see you comb your hair
C             D        G
I watched for signs as I came through that door
C           D         G
The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for
     C                   D
It's no use hoping I'm a dream

[Chorus]

      G
Oh Marliese
    D              C                G        C   D
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
      G
Oh Marliese
    D                   C                G      C   D
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace

[Verse 2]

It's no use crying out 'cos they can't help you now
You're forced to hear the words I have to say
I saw your face when I was taken down
You seemed so pleased, you're not so happy now
It's your turn to be afraid

[Chorus]

      G
Oh Marliese
    D              C                G        C   D
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
      G
Oh Marliese
    D                   C                G      C   D
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace

[Verse 3]

So where's the smooth composure of the movie star
You must have played this many times before
Do I see tears? Well surely that's not true
Don't kid yourself, it's not worth hurting you
But remember when you try to sleep

[Chorus]

      G
Oh Marliese
    D              C                G        C   D
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
      G
Oh Marliese
    D                   C                G      C   D
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace
