E9            Dm7       E9
She sends me blue valentines

Dm7                       E9
All the way from Philadelphia

Dm7                    E9
To mark the anniversary

Am7              A7
Of someone that I used to be

Dm7               
And it feels just like theres

E9                Am7      A7
A warrant out for my arrest

      Dm7            E9             Am7     A7
Got me checkin in my rearview mirror

     Dm7                  E7
And I'm always on the run

                Am7
Thats why I changed my name

            B7                       E9       
And I didn't think you'd ever find me here

Chorus:

                Dm7        E9        
To send me these blue valentines

  Dm7        E9        
 blue valentines

  Dm7        E9        Am7
hese blue valentines

Blue valentines Like half forgotten dreams Like a pebble in my shoe As I walk these streets And the ghost of your memory Is the thistle in the kiss And the burgler that can break a roses neck It's the tatooed broken promise That I hide beneath my sleeve And I see you every time I turn my back She sends me blue valentines Though I try to remain at large They're insisting that our love Must have a eulogy Why do I save all of this madness There to haunt upon my shoulders Baby I know I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go With a blind and broken heart That sleeps beneath my lapel She sends me my blue valentines To remind me of my cardinal sin I can never wash the guilt Or get these bloodstains off my handa And it takes a lot of whiskey To take this nightmares go away And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day Don't you remember that I promised I would Write you...
