[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-chorus]
Guitar 1
F G My heart's like a wound
[Chorus]
Am F C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Am F C G Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you Am F C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Am F C G C Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
[Verse 2]
C Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life Am Better safe than making the party C And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside, Am With papers and poetry about Estella
[Pre-chorus 2]

F G F G With great expectations, we had the greatest expectations

[Chorus]
Am F C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Am F C G Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you Am F C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life Am F C G C Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
