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

   G
Oh Marliese
 C          D          G     C   D
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
  G
Oh Marliese
  C              D             G    C   D
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)
