Marlene On The Wall
Suzanne Vega
E Esus4 F#m11 A
Even if I am in love with you
EAll this to say, what's it to you?
Observe Esus4the blood, the rose tattoo
F#m11Of the fingerprints on me from you
Other Asus2evidence has shown
EThat you and I are still alone
We Esus4skirt around the danger zone
F#m11And don't talk about it later
Marlene Asus2watches from the wall
Em7Her mocking smile says it Cadd9all
She records the rise and Hm7fall
Of every soldier Cadd9passing
But the only soldier now Em7is me
I'm fighting things I cannot Cadd9see
I think it's called my Hm7destiny
That I am Cadd9changing
Marlene on D6sus2the wall
Hm7 Cadd9
Well, I walk to your house in the Cadd9afternoon
By the Ebutcher's shop with the sawdust strewn
"Don't give Esus4away the goods too soon"
F#m11Is what she might have told me
And Asus2I tried so hard to resist
When you Eheld me in your handsome fist
And reminded Esus4me of the night we kissed
And F#m11of why I should be leaving
Marlene Asus2watches from the wall
Em7Her mocking smile says it Cadd9all
As she records the rise and Hm7fall
Of every soldier Cadd9passing
But the only soldier now Em7is me
I'm fighting things I cannot Cadd9see
I think it's called my Hm7destiny
That I am Cadd9changing
