Capo on 1st C5 G5 B5 E5 If this was the Cold War we could keep each other warm G5 D5 C5 G5 I said on the first occasion that I met Marie C5 G5 B5 E5 We were crawling through the hatch that was the missile silo door G5 D5 C5 G5 And I don?t think that she really thought that much of me E5 G5 E5 G5 I never had to learn to love her like I learned to love the Bomb E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 She just came along and started to ignore me E5 G5 E5 G5 But as we waited for the Big One I started singing her my songs E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 And I think she started feeling something for me C5 G5 B5 E5 We passed the time with crosswords that she thought to bring inside G5 D5 C5 G5 What five letters spell ?apocalypse? she asked me C5 G5 B5 E5 I won her over saying ?W.W.I.I.I.? G5 D5 C5 G5 She smiled and we both knew that she?d misjudged me E5 G5 E5 G5 Oh Marie it was so easy to fall in love with you E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 It felt almost like a home of sorts or something E5 G5 E5 G5 And you would keep the warhead missile silo good as new E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 And I?d watch you with my thumb above the button C5 G5 B5 E5 Then one night you found me in my army issue cot G5 D5 C5 G5 And you told me of your flash of inspiration C5 G5 B5 E5 You said fusion was the broken heart that?s lonely?s only thought G5 D5 C5 G5 And all night long you drove me wild with your equations E5 G5 E5 G5 Oh Marie do you remember all the time we used to take E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 We?d make our love and then ransack the rations E5 G5 E5 G5 I think about you leaving now and the avalanche cascades E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 And my eyes get washed away in chain reactions C5 G5 B5 E5 Oh Marie if you would stay then we could stick pins in the map G5 D5 C5 G5 Of all the places where you thought that love would be found C5 G5 B5 E5 But I would only need one pin to show where my heart?s at G5 D5 C5 G5 In a top secret location three hundred feet under the ground E5 G5 E5 G5 We could hold each other close and stay up every night E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 Looking up into the dark like it?s the night sky E5 G5 E5 G5 And pretend this giant missile is an old oak tree instead E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 And carve our name in hearts into the warhead C5 G5 B5 E5 Oh Marie there?s something tells me things just won?t work out above G5 D5 C5 G5 That our love would live a half-life on the surface C5 G5 B5 E5 So at night while you are sleeping I hold you closer just because G5 D5 C5 G5 As our time grows short I get a little nervous E5 G5 E5 G5 I think about the Big One, W.W.I.I.I. E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 Would we ever really care the world had ended E5 G5 E5 G5 You could hold me here forever like you?re holding me tonight E5 G5 D5 G5 C5 I look at that great big red button and I?m tempted!
