Even if I am in love with you

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
Other evidence has shown
That you and I are still alone
We skirt around the danger zone
And don't talk about it later

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

Marlene on the wall
I walk to your house in the afternoon
By the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn
Don't give away the goods too soon
Is what she might have told me
And I tried so hard to resist
When you held me in your handsome fist
And reminded me of the night we kissed
And of why I should be leaving
Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As the records the rise and fall
Of every man who's been here
But the only one here now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing
Marlene on the wall
