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
