Verso 1:
     A5                               B5
Come over to the window,  my little darling
D5                              A5
I'd like to try to read your palm
G5                                    D5
I used to think I was some sort of gypsy boy
F#5                         E5   E5 E5 E5
   before I let you take me home

Refr?o:
    A5                 F#5
Now so long, Marianne,    It's time that we began
    E5   E5     E5  E5     E5 E5       E5      E5     A5        A5
to laugh      and cry   and cry      and laugh about it all again

Verso 2:
          A5                  B5
Well you know that I love to live with you
D5                                A5
 but you make me forget so very much
G5                          D5
 I forget to pray for the angels
             F#5                       E5  4 E5 E5
and then the angels forget to pray for us

(Refr?o)

Verso 3:
    A5               B5
We met when we were almost young
D5                         A5
 deep in the green lilac park
G5                                D5
 You held on to me like I was a crucifix
F#5                                 E5   E5 E5 E5
   as we went kneeling through the dark

(Refr?o)

Verso 4:
      A5                                 B5
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
D5                        A5
 then why do I feel so alone
G5                                 D5
 I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
    F#5                      E5  E5 E5 E5
is fastening my ankle to a stone

(Refr?o)

Verso 5:
     A5              B5
For now I need your hidden love
D5                         A5
 I'm cold as a new razor blade
G5                                D5
 You left when I told you I was curious
F#5                         E5   E5 E5 E5
   I never said that I was brave

(Refr?o)

Verso 6:
     A5                     B5
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
D5                                   A5
 I see you've gone and changed your name again
G5                              D5
 And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
    F#5                     E5  E5 E5 E5
to wash my eyelids in the rain

(Refr?o)
