Verse 1
(Bb) Mary, this station is playing every sad song
(Gm) I remember like we were alive
(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 I knew
(Gm) Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
(Eb) My heart’s like a (F) wound
Chorus
(F) And I saw (Gm) tail lights (Eb) last night (Bb) in a dream about my (F) first wife
(Gm) Everybody (Eb) leaves and I’d expect (Bb) as much from (F) you
(F) I saw (Gm) tail lights (Eb) last night (Bb) in a dream about my old (F) life
(Gm) Everybody (Eb) leaves, so (Bb) why, why (F) wouldn’t (Bb) you?
Verse 2
(Bb) Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
(Gm) Better safe than making the party
(Bb) And I never had a good time
(Bb) I sat by my bedside with (Gm) papers and poetry about Estella
(Eb) With great (F) expectations, we had the (Eb) greatest (F) expectations
Chorus
(F) And I saw (Gm) tail lights (Eb) last night (Bb) in a dream about my (F) first wife
(Gm) Everybody (Eb) leaves and I’d expect (Bb) as much from (F) you
(F) I saw (Gm) tail lights (Eb) last night (Bb) in a dream about my old (F) life
(Gm) Everybody (Eb) leaves, so (Bb) why, why (F) wouldn’t (Bb) you?
Bridge
(F) It’s funny (Gm) how (Eb) the night moves
(Gm) Humming a song from (Eb) 1962
(Eb) We were always (F) waiting… (Eb) always (F) waiting
(Eb) We were always (F) waiting for something to (Gm) happen
Chorus
(F) I saw (Gm) tail lights (Eb) last night (Bb) in a dream about my (F) first wife
(Gm) Everybody (Eb) leaves and I’d expect (Bb) as much from (F) you
(F) I saw (Gm) tail lights (Eb) last night (Bb) in a dream about my old (F) life
(Gm) Everybody (Eb) leaves, so (Bb) why, why (F) wouldn’t (Bb) you?
