E5
Even if I am in love with you

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

   F#sus4
Observe the blood, the rose tattoo

           Aadd9                    E5
Of the fingerprints on me from you

E5
Other evidence has shown that

Esus4
You and I are still alone

   F#sus4
We skirt around the danger zone

         Aadd9                  Gadd9/E
And don't talk about it later
[Chorus]
                         Em/C
Marlene watches from the wall

                         Emadd9/B
Her mocking smile says it all

                            Em/C
As she records the rise and fall

                            Gadd9/E
Of every soldier passing

                             Em/C
But the only soldier now is me

                             Emadd9/B
I'm fighting things I cannot see

                            Em/C
I think it's called my destiny

                    Dsus4
That I am changing

                    Emadd9/B  Gadd9/E  Emadd9/B    
Marlene on the wall
[Verse 2]
       E5
Well I walk to your house in the afternoon

       Esus4                                   F#sus4
By the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn

F#sus4
"Don't give away the goods too soon"

   Aadd9
Is what she might have told me

      E5
And I tried so hard to resist

         Esus4
When you held me in your handsome fist

       F#sus4
And reminded me of the night we kissed

       Aadd9                    Gadd9/E
And of why I should be leaving
[Chorus]
                         Em/C
Marlene watches from the wall

                         Emadd9/B
Her mocking smile says it all

                            Em/C
As she records the rise and fall

                            Gadd9/E
Of every soldier passing

                             Em/C
But the only soldier now is me

                             Emadd9/B
I'm fighting things I cannot see

                            Em/C
I think it's called my destiny

                    Dsus4
That I am changing

As she records the rise and fall

                            Gadd9/E
Of every man who's been here

                              Em/C
But the only one here now is me

                             Emadd9/B
I'm fighting things I cannot see

                          Em/C
I think it's called my destiny

                      Dsus4               Em/C
That I am changing, changing, changing, changing, changing
