Marlene On The Wall Chords

(ver. 2)
Suzanne Vega
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

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
