Verse 1: Bb Mary this station is playing every sad song Gm I remember like we were Bb alive and I heard it Sunday morning from inside of Gm these walls. In a prison cell where we spent those Bb nights. And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her. Licking Gm young boys blood from her Bb claws And I learned about the blues from this kitten Gm I knew. Her hair was rabid and her heart was like a EbF tomb My heart's like a wound
Chorus 1: GmEb I saw tail lights last Bb night in a dream about FGm my first wife Everybody EbBb leaves and I'd expect F as much from you GmEb I saw tail lights last Bb night in a dream about FGm my old life Everybody EbBb leaves so why FBbBb(hold) why wouldn't you?
Verse 2: Bb Mary I worried and stalled every night of my life Better Gm safe than making the party And I Bb never had a good time I sat my bedside with Gm papers and poetry about Eb Astella Great F expectations we Eb had the greatest F expectations
Chorus 2: GmEb I saw tail lights last Bb night in a dream about FGm my first wife Everybody EbBb leaves and I'd expect F as much from you GmEb I saw tail lights last Bb night in a dream about FGm my old life Everybody EbBb leaves so why FGmEbBbF why wouldn't you?
