Blue Dahlia : By The Gaslight Anthem
Tuning: Half Step
Intro
E--G#-A (B)
Verse
EWhat a hot and sultry summer,
The steam just Cslides up off them streets
You got to Gstay inside and wait for the night,
And then Dcome on over and see me
There's a Epoetry about these streets,
It just Cslips from your skin and goes right underneath
And Gmama always knew I'd meet a girl like you,
But Dme, I never believed
Cuz I've been Eso lonely I Dcan't imagine that kind of Csympathy D[x2]
Chorus
Where'd you get them Escars?
How blue is your C#heart?
Is it Asad enough to break?
She said, "Eit's sad enougBh to break"
How long was your Elife?
Was it coC#ld and strange like mine?
Are you Aman enough to lay here?
She said, "E;I'm man enougBh my baby, come see about me"
E--G#-A X2 B (Palm mute)
Verse
I had a Edream about you once, and I could Cbarely see your form
And I Gmet you between the wax and the needle,
In the Dwords of my favorite song
Your Eblack hair was like a raven, with yourC tan skin on the beach
Your Gbackdrop were the auroras and my Dsidekick was all this grief
I've been Eso low down, I'm Dalmost level with the Cground D
Chorus
Where'd you get them Escars?
How blue is your C#heart?
Is it Asad enough to break?
She said, "Eit's sad enougBh to break"
How long was your Elife?
Was it cC#old and strange like mine?
Are you Aman enough to lay here?
She said, "E;I'm man enougBh my baby, come see about me"
Bridge
E -- C# - B X2
Did they Etake you to the carnival to get C#locked up on a Bride?
Me, EI got caught up with the fortuen tellers
And the C#ladies with the sleepy Beyes
It took Ayears my baby juBst to come clean Every sC#treetlight a reminder A
And aBll those apoloC#gies
And the Anight was Blonely next to C#me
Even the Anight was Blonely next to Eme
Chorus
Where'd you get them Escars?
How blue is your C#heart?
Is it Asad enough to break?
She said, "Eit's sad enougBh to break"
How long was your Elife?
Was it C#cold and strange like mine?
Are you Aman enough to lay here?
She said, "E;I'm man enougBh my baby, come see about me"
Come see Eabout me, C# A
Come see about Eme,
