[Verse 1]
EEven if I am in love with you,
All E4this to say, what's it to you?
Ob - F#m11serve the blood, the rose tattoo,
Of the Asus2fingerprints on me from you,
E Other evidence has shown that E4...you and I are still alone,
We F#m11 ...skirt around the danger zone,
And don't Asus2talk about it later
[Chorus]
Em7 Marlene watches from the Cmaj7wall,
Her mocking smile says it Bm11all,
As she records the rise and Cmaj7fall of every soldier passing,
Em7 But the only soldier now is Cmaj7me,
I'm fighting things I cannot Bm11see,
I think it's called my desti - Cmaj7ny that I am changing,
D6sus2 Marlene on the Cmaj7wall D6sus2 Cmaj7
[Verse 2]
Well, I Ewalk to your house in the afternoon,
By the E4butcher's shop, with the sawdust strewn,
F#m11 'Don't give away the goods too soon!'
Is Asus2what she might have told me,
And I Etried so hard to resist,
When you E4held me in your handsome fist,
And re - F#m11minded me of the night we kissed,
And of Asus2why I should be leaving
[Chorus]
Em7 Marlene watches from the Cmaj7wall,
Her mocking smile says it Bm11all,
As she records the rise and Cmaj7fall of every soldier passing,
Em7 But the only soldier now is Cmaj7me,
I'm fighting things I cannot Bm11see,
I think it's called my desti - Cmaj7ny that I am changing,
D6sus2 Marlene on the Cmaj7wall D6sus2 Cmaj7
