Capo on 1st C G B7 Em If this was the Cold War we could keep each other warm G D C G I said on the first occasion that I met Marie C G B7 Em We were crawling through the hatch that was the missile silo door G D C G And I don?t think that she really thought that much of me Em G Em G I never had to learn to love her like I learned to love the Bomb Em G D G/B C She just came along and started to ignore me Em G Em G But as we waited for the Big One I started singing her my songs Em G D G/B C And I think she started feeling something for me C G B7 Em We passed the time with crosswords that she thought to bring inside G D C G What five letters spell ?apocalypse? she asked me C G B7 Em I won her over saying ?W.W.I.I.I.? G D C G She smiled and we both knew that she?d misjudged me Em G Em G Oh Marie it was so easy to fall in love with you Em G D G/B C It felt almost like a home of sorts or something Em G Em G And you would keep the warhead missile silo good as new Em G D G/B C And I?d watch you with my thumb above the button C G B7 Em Then one night you found me in my army issue cot G D C G And you told me of your flash of inspiration C G B7 Em You said fusion was the broken heart that?s lonely?s only thought G D C G And all night long you drove me wild with your equations Em G Em G Oh Marie do you remember all the time we used to take Em G D G/B C We?d make our love and then ransack the rations Em G Em G I think about you leaving now and the avalanche cascades Em G D G/B C And my eyes get washed away in chain reactions C G B7 Em Oh Marie if you would stay then we could stick pins in the map G D C G Of all the places where you thought that love would be found C G B7 Em But I would only need one pin to show where my heart?s at G D C G In a top secret location three hundred feet under the ground Em G Em G We could hold each other close and stay up every night Em G D G/B C Looking up into the dark like it?s the night sky Em G Em G And pretend this giant missile is an old oak tree instead Em G D G/B C And carve our name in hearts into the warhead C G B7 Em Oh Marie there?s something tells me things just won?t work out above G D C G That our love would live a half-life on the surface C G B7 Em So at night while you are sleeping I hold you closer just because G D C G As our time grows short I get a little nervous Em G Em G I think about the Big One, W.W.I.I.I. Em G D G/B C Would we ever really care the world had ended Em G Em G You could hold me here forever like you?re holding me tonight Em G D G/B C I look at that great big red button and I?m tempted!
