Intro:
A F#m A F#m D E
AMary, this station is playing every sad song
I F#mremember like we were alive
I Aheard and sung them all from inside of these walls
In F#ma prison cell, where we spent those nights
AnAd they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
LickF#ming young boys blood from her claws
AnAd I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Her hF#mair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
DMy heart's like, like a Ewound
F#mBut I saw tail lights lDast night in a dAream about my Efirst wife
F#mEverybody lDeaves and I'd eAxpect this much froEm you
F#mI saw tail lights Dlast night in a Adream about myE old life
F#mEverybody lDeaves, so Awhy, why wouldn't Eyou? A
AMary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
BeF#mtter safe than making then making the party
AAnd I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside
F#mWith papers and poetry about Estella
DGreat expectatiEons
DWe had the greatest expeEctations
F#mI saw tail lights lDast night in a dAream about my Efirst wife
F#mEverybody lDeft me Mary, whyA wouldn't you?E
F#mI saw tail lights lDast night in a dAream about my Eold life
F#mEverybody lDeaves, so Awhy, why wouldnE't you?
