[G] [Am]

I [Am] remember like we were alive.
[C] I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls.
In [Am] a prison cell where we spent those nights.
They [C] burned down the diner where I always used to find her.
[Am] Looking young boys blood from her claws.
And [C] I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew.
Her hair [Am] was raving, her heart was like a tomb.
[F]
My heart's like [G] a womb.
I [Am] saw [F] taillights last [C] night in a dream about [G] my first [Am] wife.
Everybody [F] leaves and I [C] didn't expect this much [G] from you.
I [Am] saw [F] taillights last night [C] in a dream about [G] my old life.
[Am] Everybody [F] leaves and [C] why, why wouldn't you?

And [C] I never had a good time.
I sat by your bedside [Am] with papers and poetry about Estella.
[G] [F]
[G] Great expectations.
[F] We had the greatest [G] expectations.
But I [Am] saw [F] taillights last night [C] in a dream about [G] my first [Am] wife.
Everybody [F] leaves [C] and I didn't expect [G] this much from you.
[Am] I saw taillights [F] last night in [C] a dream [G] about my old [Am] life.
[F] Everybody [C] leaves and why, [G] why wouldn't [Am] you?
[F] [C] [G] I [Am] can't go on.
[F] My [C] head has grown too [G] heavy.
I [Am] need that [F] song.
Those [C] trusty chords could [G] pull me through.
And [Am] early [F] on I [C] saw the warning [G] signs and symptoms [Am] all day [F] long.
Wonder [C] how far from [G] here we'll fall.
[F] We were always [G] waiting.
[F]
Always [G] [C] waiting.
