Josh Ritter - The temptation of adam

^C"If this was the ^GCold War, we could ^B7keep each other ^Emwarm," I said ^Gon the first oc^Dcasion that I ^Cmet Marie ^G We were c^Crawling through the ^Ghatch that was the^B7 missile silo ^Emdoor And I ^Gdon't think that she r^Deally thought that m^Cuch of me ^G

I never ^Emhad to learn to ^Glove her like I ^Emlearned to love the ^Gbomb She just ^Emcame along and ^Gstarted to ig^Dnore ^G/Bme ^C But as we ^Emwaited for the "^GBig One," I started ^Emsinging her my ^Gsongs And I t^Emhink she started ^Gfeeling something f^Dor ^G/Bme ^C

We ^Cpassed the time with c^Grosswords that she ^B7thought to bring in^Emside "What five ^Gletters spell 'ap^Docalypse?'" she a^Csked ^Gme I ^Cwon her over s^Ginging, "W^B7-W-I-I-^EmI" Oh we s^Gmiled and we both ^Dknew that she'd mis^Cjudged me^G

Oh, Mari^Eme, it was so e^Gasy to ^Emfall in love with ^Gyou It felt a^Emlmost like a ^Ghome of sorts or ^Dsom^G/Bething ^C And ^Emyou would keep the ^Gwarhead missile ^Emsilo good as ^Gnew And I w^Ematched you with my ^Gthumb above the ^Dbut^G/Bton ^C

^CThen one night you ^Gfound me in my ^B7Army-issue ^Emcot And you ^Gtold me of your ^Dflash of inspi^Cration ^G You said ^Cfusion was the br^Goken heart that's l^B7onely's only ^Emthought And all night ^Glong you drove me ^Dwild with your e^Cquations ^G

Oh, Mari^Eme, do you rem^Gember all the ^Emtime we used to t^Gake We'd ^Emmake our love and ^Gthen ransack the ^Drat^G/Bions? ^C I t^Emhink about you ^Gleaving now and the ^Emavalanche ca^Gscades And my ^Emeyes get washed aw^Gay in chain re^Dacti^G/Bons ^C

Oh, Mar^Cie, if you would ^Gstay then we could ^B7stick pins in the ^Emmap Of ^Call the places ^Gwhere you thought that ^Dlove would be ^Cfound But ^CI would only ^Gneed one pin to ^B7show where my love's ^Emat In a ^Gtop-secret lo^Dcation 300 ^Cfeet under the^G ground

Oh, we could ^Emhold each other ^Gclose and ^Emstay up every n^Gight Looking ^Emup into the ^Gdark like it's the ^Dnight^G/B sky ^C And pre^Emtend this giant ^Gmissile is an ^Emold oak tree in^Gstead And c^Emarve our name in ^Ghearts into the ^Dwarh^G/Bead ^C

Oh, Mar^Cie, there's something ^Gtells me things just ^B7won't work out a^Embove That our ^Clove would live a h^Galf-life on the s^Durface ^C So at ^Cnight while you are sl^Geeping, I hold you ^B7closer just b^Emecause As our t^Gime grows short, I ^Dget a little ^Cnervou^Gs

Oh, I ^Emthink about the "^GBig One," W-^EmW-I-I-^GI Would we ^Emever really ^Gcare the world had ^Dende^G/Bd? ^C You could ^Emhold me here for^Gever like you're ^Emholding me to^Gnight I think a^Embout that great big ^Gbutton and I'm ^Dtempted
