Josh Ritter - The temptation of adam

^FIf this was the Co^Cld War, we could ^E7keep each other ^Amwarm I said ^Con the first ^Goccasion that I^F met Marie ^C We were ^Fcrawling through the hat^Cch That was the ^E7missile silo ^Amdoor And I ^Cdon’t think that she ^Greally thought that ^Fmuch of me ^C I never ^Amhad to learn to ^Clove her, Like I ^Amlearned to love the ^Cbomb She just ^Amcame along and ^Cstarted to ig^Gnore ^C/Eme ^F But as we ^Amwaited for the ^Cbig one, I started ^Amsinging her my ^Csongs And I ^Amthink she started ^Cfeeling something ^Gfor m^C/Ee ^F

We ^Fpassed the time with ^Ccrosswords That she ^E7thought to bring ^Aminside What five ^Cletters spelled ^Gapocalypse, ^Fshe asked ^Cme I ^Fwon her over ^Csaying “^E7W-W-I-I-^AmI” Oh she^C smiled and we both ^Gknew that she ^Fmisjudged ^Cme Oh ^AmMarie it was so ^Ceasy to ^Amfall in love with ^Cyou Fell ^Amalmost like a ^Chome of swords or ^Gsomet^C/Ehing ^F And ^Amyou would keep the ^Cwarhead missile ^Amsilo good as ^Cnew And I'd ^Amwatch you with ^Cmy thumb above the ^Gbutto^C/En ^F

^FThen one night you ^Cfound me in my ^E7army issue c^Amot And you ^Ctold me of your ^Gflash of insp^Firati^Con You said ^Ffusion was the ^Cbroken heart that’s ^E7lovely’s only ^Amthought And all night ^Clong you drove me ^Gwild with your ^Fequation^Cs Oh ^AmMarie do you ^Cremember all the ^Amtime we used to ^Ctake We’d ^Ammake our love and ^Cthen ransack the ra^Gtions^{C/E F} I ^Amthink about you ^Cleaving now in the ^Amavalanche cas^Ccades My ^Ameyes get washed ^Caway in chain re^Gactio^C/Ens ^F

Oh ^FMarie if you would st^Cay then we could sti^E7ck pins in the ma^Amp Of ^Call the places ^Gwhere you thought that ^Flove would be fo^Cund But I would only need one pin to show where my loves at In a ^Ctop secret loc^Gation 300 f^Feet under the ^Cground Oh we could ^Amhold each other ^Cclose, W^Ame'd stay up every ^Cnight Looking ^Amup into the ^Cdark like it’s the ^Gnight^C/E sky ^F Pre^Amtend this giant ^Cmissile is an ^Amold oak tree inst^Cead And I’d ^Amcarve your name & ^Chearts into the w^Garhea^C/Ed ^F

Oh ^FMarie there's something ^Ctells me things just ^E7won't work out ^Amabove That our ^Clove would live a ^Ghalf-life on the ^Fsurface ^C So at ^Fnight while you are ^Csleeping I hold you ^E7closer just be^Amcause As our ^Ctime grows short I ^Gget a little ^Fnervous ^C So I ^Amthink about the ^Cbig one ^AmW-W-I-I-I^C Would we ^Amever really ^Ccare the world had e^Gnded?^{C/E F} You could ^Amhold me here for^Cever, Like you’re ^Amholding me ton^Cight I think ^Amabout that big red ^Cbutton and I’m te^Gmpted
