Suzanne Vega - Marlene On The Wall
E Esus4 F#msus4 Amaj9
or
F Fsus4 Gm7sus4 Bbmaj9
E
Even if I am in love with you all
Esus4
this to say what's it to you?
F#msus4
Observe the blood the rose tattoo of the
Aadd2
fingerprints on me from you.
E
other evidence has shown that
Esus4
you and I are still alone we
F#msus4
skirt around the danger zone and don't
Aadd2
talk about it later.
CHORUS
Em7
Marlene watches from the walls
Cmaj7 C6
her mocking smile says it all
Bm7sus4 Bm7
as she records the rise and
Cmaj7
fall of every soldier passing
Em7
but the only soldier now is me
Cmaj7 C6 Bm7sus4
I'm fighting things I cannot see
Bm7 G/C
I think its called my destiny
D/C G/C Cmaj9
but I am changing
D
Marlene on the wall
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 Well I
E
Well I walk to your house in the afternoon by the
Esus4
butcher shop with the saw-dust strewn
F#msus4
"don't give away the goods too soon" is
Aadd2
what you might have told me and I
E
tried so hard to resist when you
Esus4
held me in your handsome fist and
F#msus4
reminded me of the night we kissed and of
Aadd2
why I should be leaving
CHORUS
3. Instrumental
CHORUS
E
And I tried so hard to resist

why I should be leaving.
