[Intro] C Am C Am Fmaj7 CC Mary, this station is playing every sad songAm I remember like we were aliveC I heard and sung them all from inside of these wallsAm In a prison cell, where we spent those nightsC And they burned up the diner where I always used to find herAm Licking young boys blood from her clawsC And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knewAm Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tombFmaj7 G My heart's like, like a woundAm Fmaj7 But I saw tail lights last nightC G in a dream about my first wifeAm Fmaj7 C Everybody leaves and I'd expectG this much from youContinues after the adAm Fmaj7 I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my old lifeAm Fmaj7 C Everybody leaves, so why, whyG C wouldn't you?C Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my lifeAm Better safe than making then making the partyC And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedsideAm With papers and poetry about EstellaFmaj7 G Great expectationsFmaj7 G We had the greatest expectationsAm Fmaj7 I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my first wifeAm Fmaj7 C Everybody left me Mary, whyG wouldn't you?Am Fmaj7 I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my old lifeAm Fmaj7 C Everybody leaves, so why, whyG Am Fmaj7 C G wouldn't you?Am It's funny how the night movesFmaj7 C GAm Fmaj7 Humming a song from 1962C GFmaj7 G We were always waitingFmaj7 G We were always waitingFmaj7 G We were always waiting forAm G something to happenAm Fmaj7 I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my first wifeAm Fmaj7 C Everybody left me Mary, whyG wouldn't you?Am Fmaj7 I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my old lifeAm Fmaj7 C Everybody leaves, so why, whyG C Am C Am wouldn't you?Fmaj7 G C
