before I let you take me home.

2. Well you know that I love to live with you,

I forget to pray for the angels

deep in the green lilac park,

you held on to me like I was a crucifix

as we went kneeling through the dark.

4. Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
C# G#
then why do I feel so alone.
F# C#
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Fm D# D#sus4 D# D#7
is fastening my ankle to a stone.

5. For now I need your hidden love,

I'm cold as a new razor blade.
F# C#
You left when I told you I was curious

I never said that I was brave.

6. Oh, you are really such a pretty one,
C# G#
I see you've gone and changed your name again,
F# C#
and just when I climbed this whole mountainside
Fm D# D#sus4 D# D#7
to wash my eyelids in the rain.
G# Fm
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
D# D#sus4 D# D#7 D# D#sus4D# D#7 G# G#sus4 G#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
