[Intro]
 
C#m E B F#
 
C#m E B F#
 
[Verse 1]
 
 C#m                     E
Celluloid soldiers, come in from the rain
 B                           F#
Murder my smile, but please leave me my pain
C#m                          E
All those good people, they don't even try
  B                            F#/A#        A
Stealing the truth while they pay for your lie
C#m                                         E
I'm about to lose the things I never saw before
 
You wanted me to know the ups and downs
  B
Away we go to get another hit, the it
      F#
The blood that she's about to spit
 C#m                    E
You go your way and I guess I'll go mine
 B            F#/A#       A         G#
We'll both arrive at the very same time
 
[Chorus]

  E                  B                   C#m
Please give me your tired, give me your poor
  E                  B                       C#m
Please lift up your lamp, walk through this door

[Verse 2]
 
 C#m                          E
Kick down the doors that you don't understand
  B                              F#
Please don't lose sight of this generous plan
  C#m                  E
Blinded by prisms, we wind up in court
B                             F#/A#          A
I'm folding chairs while you sold yourself short
  C#m
She's about to redefine the way
          E
Reminded me to say the other way was right
             B
She's in a place to pray for me
                       F#
And now she's got to flash the funky lighter
  C#m                       E
You've got your way and it seems I've got mine
 B          F#/A#      A             G#
Both gonna die at the very same time

 E
Marry me, mama
        B                   C#m
That's someone to carry me home
  E
Stick with me, girlfriend
   B                      C#m
I don't want to be here alone
 E
Marry me, mama
        B                   C#m

Marry me, mama
