Marlene on the Wall Suzanne Vega
Even if I am in [E]love with you
All t[Esus4]his to say, what's it to you?
Obs[F#m]erve the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the fi[A]ngerprints on me from you
[E]Other evidence has shown
That[Esus4] you and I are still alone
W[F#m]e skirt around the danger zone
And don't [A]talk about it later
[Em7] Marlene watches from the wall[Cmaj7]
Her mocking smile says it a[Bm7]ll
As the records the rise and f[Cmaj7]all
Of every soldier passing[Em7]
But the only soldier now is[Cmaj7] me
I'm fighting things I cannot [Bm7]see
I think it's called my desti[Cmaj7]ny
That I am chan[Cmaj7]ging[D]
[Bm7]Marlene on the w[Cmaj7]all
I [E]walk to your house in the afternoon
By the butch[Esus4]er's shop with the sawdust strewn
"Don't gi[F#m]ve away the goods too soon"
Is wh[A]at she might have told me
And I t[E]ried so hard to resist
When you h[Esus4]eld me in your handsome fist
And re[F#m]minded me of the night we kissed
And of w[A]hy I should be leaving
[Em7] Marlene watches from the wall[Cmaj7]
Her mocking smile says it a[Bm7]ll
As the records the rise and f[Cmaj7]all
Of every soldier passing[Em7]
But the only soldier now is[Cmaj7] me
I'm fighting things I cannot [Bm7]see
I think it's called my desti[Cmaj7]ny
That I am chan[Cmaj7]ging[D]
