Songtext

[Intro]
| Bb | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
Bb
Mary,
this station is playing every sad song
    Gm
I remember like we were alive
Yeah,
  Bb
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
     Gm
In a prison cell,
where we spent those nights
         Bb
And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her
        Gm
Licking young boys' blood from her claws
      Bb
And I learned about the blues from this kitten that I knew
             Gm
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb

[Pre-Chorus]
Ebmaj7                  F
      My heart's like a wound

[Chorus]
          Gm         Ebmaj7           Bb
And I saw taillights last  night in a dream about my
Fadd11
first wife
Gm        Ebmaj7           Bb                F
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
      Gm         Ebmaj7           Bb             Fadd11
I saw taillights last  night in a dream about my old   life
Gm        Ebmaj7     Bb
Everybody leaves, so why,
Fadd11         Bb
why   wouldn't you?

[Verse 2]
Mary,
  Bb
I worried and stalled every night of my life
       Gm
Better safe than making the party
      Bb
And I never had a good time,
I sat by my bedside
     Gm
With papers and poetry about Estella

[Pre-Chorus]
Ebmaj7                F
      With great expectations
           Ebmaj7        F
We had the greatest expectations

[Chorus]
          Gm         Ebmaj7           Bb
And I saw taillights last  night in a dream about my
Fadd11
first wife
Gm        Ebmaj7           Bb                Fadd11
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
      Gm         Ebmaj7           Bb             Fadd11
I saw taillights last  night in a dream about my old   life
Gm        Ebmaj7     Bb
Everybody leaves, so why,
F            Gm  Eb
why wouldn't you?

[Interlude]
Bb F           Gm                 Eb
    It's funny how the night moves
Bb F                  Gm  Eb
   Humming a song from  1962
Bb F Gm Eb Bb F        Eb     F
               We were always waiting,
Eb     F
always waiting

[Bridge]
        Eb     F                        Gm
We were always waiting for something to happen

[Chorus]
F      Gm         Ebmaj7           Bb
 I saw taillights last  night in a dream about my
Fadd11
first wife
Gm        Ebmaj7           Bb                Fadd11
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
      Gm         Ebmaj7           Bb             Fadd11
I saw taillights last  night in a dream about my old   life
Gm        Ebmaj7     Bb
Everybody leaves, so why,
F            Bb
why wouldn't you?
