The Gaslight Anthem - Great expectations

^BbMary this station is playing every sad song I re^Gmmember like we were alive and I ^Bbheard it Sunday morning from inside of these walls. In a ^Gmprison cell where we spent those nights. And they ^Bbburnt up the diner where I always used to find her. Licking ^Gmyoung boys blood from her claws And I ^Bblearned about the blues from this kitten I knew. Her hair was ^Gmrabid and her heart was like a tomb^Eb My heart's like a ^Fwound

I saw ^Gmtail lights ^Eblast night in a ^Bbdream about my ^Ffirst wife ^GmEverybody ^Ebleaves and I'd ex^Bbpect as much from ^Fyou I saw ^Gmtail lights ^Eblast night in a ^Bbdream about my ^Fold life ^GmEverybody ^Ebleaves so ^Bbwhy F Bb Bb(hold) why wouldn't you?

Mary I ^Bbworried and stalled every night of my life Better ^Gmsafe than making the party And I ^Bbnever had a good time I sat my bedside with ^Gmpapers and poetry about Astella^Eb Great expec^Ftations we had the ^Ebgreatest ex^Fpectations

I saw ^Gmtail lights ^Eblast night in a ^Bbdream about my ^Ffirst wife ^GmEverybody ^Ebleaves and I'd ex^Bbpect as much from ^Fyou I saw ^Gmtail lights ^Eblast night in a ^Bbdream about my ^Fold life ^GmEverybody ^Ebleaves so ^Bbwhy ^Fwhy wouldn't ^Gmyou?^{Eb Bb F}

We were ^Ebalways ^Fwaiting ^Ebalways ^Fwaiting We were ^Ebalways ^Fwaiting for something to ^Gmhappen^F
