E
Even if I am in love with you
Esus4
All this to say, what's it to you?
F#m
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#m
We skirt around the danger zone
A
And don't talk about it later
Em7 Cmaj7
Marlene watches from the wall
Bm7
Her mocking smile says it all
Cmaj7
As the records the rise and fall
Em7
Of every soldier passing
Cmaj7
But the only soldier now is me
Bm7
I'm fighting things I cannot see
Cmaj7
I think it's called my destiny
Cmaj7 D
That I am changing
Bm7 Cmaj7
Marlene on the wall
E
I walk to your house in the afternoon
Esus4
By the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn
F#m
"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#m
And reminded me of the night we kissed
A
And of why I should be leaving

Sounds mostly right to me, but I am very open to corrections - I struggled with this!
