[Intro]
E Esus4 F#m A
[Verse 1]
EEven if I am in love with you
All tEsus4his to say, what's it to you?
ObsF#merve the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the fiAngerprints on me from you
EOther evidence has shown
ThatEsus4 you and I are still alone
WF#me skirt around the danger zone
And don't Atalk about it later Em7
[Chorus]
Marlene watches from the wall Cmaj7
Her mocking smile says it aBm7ll
As the records the rise and fCmaj7all
Of every soldier passingEm7
But the only soldier now isCmaj7 me
I'm fighting things I cannot Bm7see
I think it's called my destiCmaj7ny
That I am chanCmaj7ging D
Bm7Marlene on the wCmaj7all
[Verse 2]
Well I wEalk to your house in the afternoon
By the butchEsus4er's shop with the sawdust strewn
"Don't giF#mve away the goods too soon"
Is whAat she might have told me
And I tEried so hard to resist
When you hEsus4eld me in your handsome fist
And reF#mminded me of the night we kissed
And of wAhy I should be leaving Em7
[Chorus]
Marlene watches from the walCmaj7l
Her mocking smile says it aBm7ll
As the records the rise and fCmaj7all
Of every soldier passingEm7
But the only soldier now isCmaj7 me
I'm fighting things I cannot Bm7see
I think it's called my destiCmaj7ny
That I am chanCmaj7ging D
