[Verse 1]
E5Even if I am in love with you
AllEsus4 this to say, what's it to you?
ObsF#sus4erve the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the fingAadd9erprints on me from you E5
E5Other evidence has shown that
Esus4You and I are still alone
We F#sus4skirt around the danger zone
And don'tAadd9 talk about it later Gadd9/E
[Chorus]
Marlene watches from the Em/Cwall
Her mocking smile says itEmadd9/B all
As she records the rise and Em/Cfall
Of every soldier passing Gadd9/E
But the only soldier now is mEm/Ce
I'm fighting things I cannot Emadd9/Bsee
I think it's called my destiEm/Cny
That I am changing Dsus4
Marlene on the wall Emadd9/B Gadd9/E Emadd9/B
[Verse 2]
Well I E5walk to your house in the afternoon
By the Esus4butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn F#sus4
F#sus4"Don't give away the goods too soon"
Is Aadd9what she might have told me
And I E5tried so hard to resist
When you Esus4held me in your handsome fist
And remF#sus4inded me of the night we kissed
And of Aadd9why I should be leaving Gadd9/E
[Chorus]
Marlene watches from the Em/Cwall
Her mocking smile says itEmadd9/B all
As she records the rise and Em/Cfall
Of every soldier passing Gadd9/E
But the only soldier now is mEm/Ce
I'm fighting things I cannot Emadd9/Bsee
I think it's called my destiEm/Cny
That I am changing Dsus4
