[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]

Guitar 1
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?


[Bridge]
           Am                 F    C   G   C
It's funny how the night moves
           Am                 F    C   G   C
   Humming a song from 1962


[Bridge]
        F         G
We were always,   waiting
F     G
always waiting
        F         G
We were always,   waiting for something
   F    G
to happen


[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?
