C 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 tombF G My heart's like a woundContinues after the adAm F I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my first wifeAm F C Everybody leaves and I'd expectG as much from youAm F I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my old lifeAm F 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 the partyC And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,Am With papers and poetry about EstellaF G With great expectations, weF G had the greatest expectationsAm F I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my first wifeAm F C Everybody leaves and I'd expectG as much from youAm F I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my whole lifeAm F C Everybody leaves, so why, whyG C wouldn't you?Am F I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my first wifeAm F C Everybody leaves and I'd expectG as much from youAm F I saw tail lights last night in aC G dream about my whole lifeAm F C Everybody leaves, so why, whyG C wouldn't you?
