Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Mary, this station is playing every sad song

I remember like we were alive

I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls

In a prison cell, where we spent those nights

And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her

Licking young boys blood from her claws

And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew

Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb

Prechorus

Guitar 1

My heart's like a wound

Chorus

 I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife

Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you

 I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life

Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Verse 2

 Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life

 Better safe than making the party

 And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,

 With papers and poetry about Estella

Prechorus 2

Guitar 1

With great expectations, we had the greatest expectations

Chorus

 I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife

Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you

 I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life

Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Bridge

Chorus

 I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife

Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you

 I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life

Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
