E
Even if I am in love with you

     Esus4
All this to say, what's it to you?

   F#m11
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#m11
We skirt around the danger zone

          A
And don't talk about it later
[Chorus]
Em7                          Cadd9
 Marlene watches from the wall

                           Bm7
Her mocking smile says it all

                            Cadd9
She records the rise and fall

                        Em7
Of every soldier passing

                            Cadd9
But the only soldier now is me

                             Bm7
I'm fighting things I cannot see

                            Cadd9
I think it's called my destiny

                   D
That I am changing

                Cadd9   Bm7   Cadd9
Marlene on the wall
[Verse 2]
         E
Well, I walk to your house in the afternoon

        Esus4
By the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn

F#m11
"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#m11 
And reminded me of the night we kissed

        A
And of why I should be leaving
[Chorus]
Em7                          Cadd9
 Marlene watches from the wall

                           Bm7
Her mocking smile says it all

                             Cadd9
As she records the rise and fall

                        Em7
Of every soldier passing

                            Cadd9
But the only soldier now is me

                             Bm7
I'm fighting things I cannot see

                            Cadd9
I think it's called my destiny

                   D
That I am changing

               Cadd9   Bm7   Cadd9

Of every man who's been here

But the only one here now is me

                             Bm7
