[Intro]
E5 Esus4 F#sus4 Aadd9
[Verse 1]
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
Emadd9/B Gadd9/E Emadd9/B
Marlene on the wall

I think it's called my destiny

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 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
[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
