Capo 4
F C E7 Am
If this was the Cold War, we could keep each other warm
C G F C
I said on the first occasion that I met Marie
F C E7 Am
We were crawling through the hatch That was the missile silo door
C G F C
And I don't think that she really thought that much of me
Am C Am C
I never had to learn to love her, Like I learned to love the bomb
Am C G C/E F
She just came along and started to ignore me
Am C Am C
But as we waited for the big one, I started singing her my songs
Am C G C/E F
And I think she started feeling something for me
F C E7 Am
We passed the time with crosswords That she thought to bring inside
C G F C
What five letters spelled apocalypse, she asked me
F C E7 Am
I won her over saying 'W-W-I-I-I'
C G F C
Oh she smiled and we both knew that she misjudged me
Am C Am C
Oh Marie it was so easy to fall in love with you
Am C G C/E F
Fell almost like a home of swords or something
Am C Am C
And you would keep the warhead missile silo good as new
Am C G C/E F
And I'd watch you with my thumb above the button
F C E7 Am
Then one night you found me in my army issue cot
C G F C
And you told me of your flash of inspiration
F C E7 Am
You said fusion was the broken heart that's lovely's only thought
C G F C
And all night long you drove me wild with your equations
Am C Am C
Oh Marie do you remember all the time we used to take
Am C G C/E F
We'd make our love and then ransack the rations
Am C Am C
I think about you leaving now in the avalanche cascades
Am C G C/E F
My eyes get washed away in chain reactions
F C E7 Am
Oh Marie if you would stay then we could stick pins in the map
C G F C
Of all the places where you thought that love would be found
But I would only need one pin to show where my loves at
C G F C
In a top secret location 300 feet under the ground
Am C Am C
Oh we could hold each other close, We'd stay up every night
Am C G C/E F
Looking up into the dark like it's the night sky
Am C Am C
Pretend this giant missile is an old oak tree instead
Am C G C/E F
And I'd carve your name & hearts into the warhead
F C E7 Am
Oh Marie there's something tells me things just won't work out above
C G F C
That our love would live a half-life on the surface
F C E7 Am
So at night while you are sleeping I hold you closer just because
C G F C
As our time grows short I get a little nervous
Am C Am C
So I think about the big one W-W-I-I-I
Am C G C/E F
Would we ever really care the world had ended?
Am C Am C
You could hold me here forever, Like you're holding me tonight
Am C G
I think about that big red button and I'm tempted
