[Intro]
E Esus4 F#m A

[Verse 1]
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                        Em7
And don't talk about it later

[Chorus]
                                                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

[Verse 2]
          E
Well 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                                  Em7
And of why I should be leaving

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Instrumental]
E Esus4 F#m A Em7

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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
