The Temptation of Adam Josh Ritter
Capo 4
[F]If this was the Co[C]ld War, we could [E7]keep each other [Am]warm
I said [C]on the first [G]occasion that I[F] met Marie[C]
We were [F]crawling through the hat[C]ch That was the [E7]missile silo [Am]door
And I [C]don't think that she [G]really thought that [F]much of me [C]
I never [Am]had to learn to [C]love her, Like I [Am]learned to love the [C]bomb
She just [Am]came along and [C]started to ig[G]nore [C/E]me [F]
But as we [Am]waited for the [C]big one, I started [Am]singing her my [C]songs
And I [Am]think she started [C]feeling something [G]for m[C/E]e [F]
We [F]passed the time with [C]crosswords That she [E7]thought to bring [Am]inside
What five [C]letters spelled [G]apocalypse, [F]she asked [C]me
I [F]won her over [C]saying '[E7]W-W-I-I-[Am]I'
Oh she[C] smiled and we both [G]knew that she [F]misjudged [C]me
Oh [Am]Marie it was so [C]easy to [Am]fall in love with [C]you
Fell [Am]almost like a [C]home of swords or [G]somet[C/E]hing [F]
And [Am]you would keep the [C]warhead missile [Am]silo good as [C]new
And I'd [Am]watch you with [C]my thumb above the [G]butto[C/E]n [F]
[F]Then one night you [C]found me in my [E7]army issue c[Am]ot
And you [C]told me of your [G]flash of insp[F]irati[C]on
You said [F]fusion was the [C]broken heart that's [E7]lovely's only [Am]thought
And all night [C]long you drove me [G]wild with your [F]equation[C]s
Oh [Am]Marie do you [C]remember all the [Am]time we used to [C]take
We'd [Am]make our love and [C]then ransack the ra[G]tions[C/E] [F]
I [Am]think about you [C]leaving now in the [Am]avalanche cas[C]cades
My [Am]eyes get washed [C]away in chain re[G]actio[C/E]ns [F]
Oh [F]Marie if you would st[C]ay then we could sti[E7]ck pins in the ma[Am]p
Of [C]all the places [G]where you thought that [F]love would be fo[C]und
But I would only need one pin to show where my loves at
In a [C]top secret loc[G]ation 300 f[F]eet under the [C]ground
Oh we could [Am]hold each other [C]close, W[Am]e'd stay up every [C]night
Looking [Am]up into the [C]dark like it's the [G]night[C/E] sky [F]
Pre[Am]tend this giant [C]missile is an [Am]old oak tree inst[C]ead
And I'd [Am]carve your name &a[C]mp; hearts into t[G]he wa[C/E]rhead [F]
Oh [F]Marie there's something [C]tells me things just [E7]won't work out [Am]above
That our [C]love would live a [G]half-life on the [F]surface [C]
So at [F]night while you are [C]sleeping I hold you [E7]closer just be[Am]cause
As our [C]time grows short I [G]get a little [F]nervous [C]
So I [Am]think about the [C]big one [Am]W-W-I-I-I[C]
Would we [Am]ever really [C]care the world had e[G]nded?[C/E] [F]
You could [Am]hold me here for[C]ever, Like you're [Am]holding me ton[C]ight
I think [Am]about that big red [C]button and I'm te[G]mpted
