Blue Valentines (ft Tom Waits)

Dm     E
She sends me blue valentines
      Dm        E
All the way from Philadelphia
   Dm       E
To mark the anniversary
   Am        A7
Of someone that I used to be
     Dm      E
And it feels like ther's a warrant
  Am           A7
Is out for my arrest
       Dm       E     Am  A7
Baby, you got me checkin in my rearview mirror
     Dm         E
And I'm always on the run
         Am        A7
Thats why I changed my name
     B7              E
But I didn't think you'd ever find me here

Dm     E
To send me blue valentines
        Dm     E
Like half forgotten dreams
  Dm     E
Like a pebble in my shoe
   Am        A7
As I walk these streets
     Dm     E
And the ghost of your memory
   Am        A7
Is the thistle in the kiss
       Dm       E     Am  A7
And the burgler that can break a roses neck
     Dm         E
It's the tatooed broken promise
         Am        A7
That I hide beneath my sleeve
     B7              E
I only see you every time I turn my back

Dm     E
She sends me blue valentines
         Dm     E
Though I try to remain at large
   Dm     E
They're insisting that our love
   Am        A7
Must have a eulogy
    Dm     E
Why do I save all of this madness
   Am        A7
In the nightstand drawer
       Dm       E     Am  A7
There to haunt upon my shoulders, daby I know
     Dm         E
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
         Am        A7
With a blind and broken heart
     B7              E
That sleeps beneath my lapel

Dm     E
She sends me my blue valentines
         Dm     E
To remind me of my cardinal sin
   Dm     E
I could never wash the guilt
   Am        A7
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
     Dm     E
And it takes a lot of whiskey
   Am        A7
To take this nightmares go away
       Dm       E     Am  A7
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
     Dm         E
And I only die just a little more 
         Am        A7
on each St. Valentines day
     B7              E
But you remember that I promised I would write...

     Dm         E
These blue valentines
    Am      A7
Blue valentines
   B7       E
Blue valentines
