[Dm] [E] [D]
She [E] sends me [Dm] blue [E] valentines
All [Dm] the way [E] from Philadelphia
[D] To [F] mark the [E] anniversary
[Am] Of someone that I used to [A] be
[G] And it [Dm] feels like [E] a warrant
[D] [Am] Is out for my [A] arrest
Baby [Em] you got [Dm] me checking
[E] In my rear [Am] view mirror
[A] That's [Dm] why I'm always on [E] the [D] run
That's [G] why [Am] I changed my name
[B] I didn't think you'd ever find me [E] [D] here
[E]
To send [Ab] me [Dm] blue
[E] [Gb] valentines
Like [Dm] half forgotten [Gb] [Ab] dreams
Like [Dm] a pebble [E] in my shoe
[Gb]
[Am] As I walk these [A] streets
And [G]
[Dm] the ghost [E] of your [Ab] memory
Baby [Am] it's a thistle and a kiss
[A] It's [Dm] the burglar that can [E] break
[D] A [Am] rose's neck
[A] It's [Dm] the tattooed broken [E] promise
[D] I [Am] gotta hide beneath my sleeve
I'm [B] gonna see you
Every time I turn [E] my back
[Dm] [E] [D]

[B]
[E] Oh [Gb] you sent me
[D] Blue [Am]
[E] valentines
[Dm] Though I tried to [E] remain at [D] large
They're [Dm]
insisting [E] that I love
[Ab] Must have [A] a eulogy
What [Fm] do I say of [E] all this madness
Here [Am] in the nightstand row
[A] That [Dm] I hold upon [Ab] my shoulders
[Am] Baby I know
[A] I'll [Dm] be luckier
[E] Walk [Gb] around [Am] everywhere I go
[B] With this blind broken heart
That sleeps [E] beneath my lapel
Instead [Dm] these blue [E]
valentines
[Dm] Remind me [E] of my [Ab] cardinal sin
[F] I can never [E] wash the guilt
[D] Or [Am] get these blood stains off my [A] hands
And [Fm] a taste of all [E] our whiskey
[A] Make these nightmares go away
And [F] I cut my [E] bleeding [D] heart out Every [Am] night
[A] And [Am] I'm [Dm] gonna die just [E] a little [Ab] more
On each [Am] St.
Valentine's Day
Don't [B] you remember
I promised I [E] would write you
