Marlene On The Wall Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Even if I am in love with you
All [D]this to say, what's it to you?
Ob[Em]serve the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the [G]fingerprints on me from you
[D]Other evidence has shown
[D]That you and I are still alone
[Em]We skirt around the danger zone
And don't [G]talk about it later

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]Marlene watches from the wall[Bb]
Her mocking smile says it [Am]all
As she [Am]records the rise and [Bb]fall
Of every soldier passing
[Dm]But the only soldier now is me
[Bb]I'm fighting things I cannot see[Am]
I think it's [Am]called my desti[Bb]ny
That I am changing
[C]Marlene on the wal[Bb]l[C][Bb]

[Verse 2]
Well, I [D]walk to your house in the afternoon
By the [D]butcher shop with the sawdust strewn
[Em]"Don't give away the goods too soon"
Is [G]what she might have told me
And I [D]tried so hard to resist
And when you [D]held me in your handsome fist
And re[Em]minded me of the night we kissed
And of [G]why I should be leaving

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]Marlene watches from the wall[Bb]
Her mocking smile says it [Am]all
As she [Am]records the rise and [Bb]fall
Of every soldier passing
[Dm]But the only soldier now is me
[Bb]I'm fighting things I cannot see[Am]
I think it's [Am]called my desti[Bb]ny
That I am changing
[C]Marlene on the wall

[Chorus 3]
[Dm]Marlene watches from the wall[Bb]
Her mocking smile says it [Am]all
As she [Am]records the rise and [Bb]fall
Of every soldier passing
[Dm]But the only soldier now is me
[Bb]I'm fighting things I cannot see[Am]
I think it's [Am]called my desti[Bb]ny
That I am changing
[C]Marlene on the wal[Bb]l[C][Bb]

[Verse 3]
And [D]even if I am in love with you

[Dm]Marlene watches from the wall[Bb]
Her mocking smile says it [Am]all
