[Verse 1]
C
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
Am
I remember like we were alive
C
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
Am
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
C
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Am
Licking young boys blood from her claws
C
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Am
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
[Pre-chorus]
Guitar 1
F G
My heart's like a wound
[Chorus]
Am F C G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Am F C G
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
Am F C G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Am F C G C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
[Verse 2]
C
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
Am
Better safe than making the party
C
And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,
Am
With papers and poetry about Estella
[Pre-chorus 2]

Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
