IntroEEsus4F#mAVerse 1E
Even if I am in love with you
Esus4
All this to say, what's it to you?
F#m
Observe the blood, the rose tattoo
A
Of the fingerprints on me from you
E
Other evidence has shown
Esus4
That you and I are still alone
F#m
We skirt around the danger zone
AEm7
And don't talk about it later
ChorusCmaj7
Marlene watches from the wall
Bm7
Her mocking smile says it all
Cmaj7
As the records the rise and fall
Em7
Of every soldier passing
Cmaj7
But the only soldier now is me
Bm7
I'm fighting things I cannot see
Cmaj7
I think it's called my destiny
Cmaj7D
That I am changing
Bm7Cmaj7
Marlene on the wall
Verse 2E
Well I walk to your house in the afternoon
Esus4
By the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn
F#m
"Don't give away the goods too soon"
A
Is what she might have told me
E
And I tried so hard to resist
Esus4
When you held me in your handsome fist
F#m
And reminded me of the night we kissed
AEm7
And of why I should be leaving
ChorusCmaj7
Marlene watches from the wall
Bm7
Her mocking smile says it all
