Standard (EADGBE)

 I told them I take photos for this magazine

 They let me in to see you comb your hair

I watched for signs as I came through that door

The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for

 It's no use hoping I'm a dream

 Oh Marliese

 The waiting almost brought me to my knees

 Oh Marliese

 You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace

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)

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)
