Intro: C Am C Am Fmaj7 C 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 Fmaj7 G My heart's like, like a wound Am Fmaj7 C G But I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Am Fmaj7 C G Everybody leaves and I'd expect this much from you Am Fmaj7 C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Am Fmaj7 C G C Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? C Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life Am Better safe than making then making the party C And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside Am With papers and poetry about Estella Fmaj7 G Great expectations Fmaj7 G We had the greatest expectations Am Fmaj7 C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Am Fmaj7 C G Everybody left me Mary, why wouldn't you? Am Fmaj7 C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Am Fmaj7 C G Am Fmaj7 C G Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? Am Fmaj7 C G It's funny how the night moves Am Fmaj7 C G Humming a song from 1962 Fmaj7 G We were always waiting Fmaj7 G We were always waiting Fmaj7 G Am G We were always waiting for something to happen Am Fmaj7 C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Am Fmaj7 C G Everybody left me Mary, why wouldn't you? Am Fmaj7 C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Am Fmaj7 C G C Am C Am Fmaj7 G C Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
