Capo II Intro: A F#m A F#m D E A Mary, this station is playing every sad song F#m I remember like we were alive A I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls F#m In a prison cell, where we spent those nights A And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her F#m Licking young boys blood from her claws A And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew F#m Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb D E My heart's like, like a wound F#m D A E But I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife F#m D A E Everybody leaves and I'd expect this much from you F#m D A E I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life F#m D A E A Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? A Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life F#m Better safe than making then making the party A And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside F#m With papers and poetry about Estella D E Great expectations D E We had the greatest expectations F#m D A E I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife F#m D A E Everybody left me Mary, why wouldn't you? F#m D A E I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life F#m D A E Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? F#m D A E F#m D A E It's funny how the night moves F#m D A E Humming a song from 1962 D E We were always waiting D E We were always waiting D E F#m E We were always waiting for something to happen F#m D A E I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife F#m D A E Everybody left me Mary, why wouldn't you? F#m D A E I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life F#m D A E Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? A F#m A F#m D E A
