_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] She _ _ sends _ me _ _ [Dm] _ _ blue _
[E] _ _ _ valentines _ all [Dm] the way _ _ from [F#]
[E] Philadelphia _ _ _ to _ _
[F] mark _ the _ [E] _
anniversary _ _ _ [Am] of someone _
that [A] I used to _ _ be.
_ _ [Dm] It feels _ like a [E] warrant _ [D] _ _ [Am] is out for my [A] arrest. _ _ _
Baby you got [C] me checking
[Dm] _ _ in [E] my rear _ _ [Am] view _ _ mirror.
[A] _ _ _ _
That's [Dm] why I'm always on [D] the run.
_ _ _ [G] That's why I [Am] changed my name.
_ _ _ _ [B]
I didn't _ think you'd ever find me [D] _ here.
_ [E] _
_ _ She [G#] sends _ me _ [Am] blue _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#] valentines _ like [D] _ [Am] half forgotten _ [E] dreams.
[F#] _ _ _ [Dm] Like a pebble _ _ [E] in my _ [F#] shoe _ as [Am] I walk these streets.
[A] _
_ _ And [Dm] the _ ghost of [E] your memory _ [D] baby [Am] is a thistle and a kiss.
_ [A] _ _
[Dm] It's the burglar _ that [E] can break _ _ [G] a [C] rose's neck.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] It's the tattoo _ broken [E] _
promise _ I [Am] got to hide _ beneath my sleeve. _ _
[B] I'm gonna see you _ _ every time _ I [E] turn my back. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ She sends me _ _ [D] _ _ [Dm] blue [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
valentines.
_ _ [Dm] Though I try _ _ _ [E] to remain at _ [D] large. _
They're [Dm] _ insisting _ [E] that our love _ _ must [A] have a eulogy. _ _ _ _ _ _
Well [Fm] do I save _ all [E] this madness _ _ here [A] in the night stand _ row? _ _ _ _
[Dm] That a _ hump on [E] my shoulders _ _ [Am] baby I know.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] I'll be luckier _ _ [F#] to walk around _ _ [Am] _ everywhere I go.
_ With _ [B] this blind _ broken heart _ that sleeps [E] beneath my _ lapel.
_ _ _ _ Instead _ _ _ these [Dm] _ blue _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ valentines _ remind [Dm] _ me _ [E] of my cardinal sin.
_ _ [Dm] I can never _ _ _ [F#] wash the [E] guilt _ or get [Am] these blood stains off my _ [A] hands. _ _
[D] And the taste _ of all [E] that whiskey _ _ [A] will make these nightmares go away. _ _ _ _
[F] And I cut my _ bleeding [E] heart [D] out _ _ [E] [Am] every night. _
_ _ [A] _ And _ _ [C] I'm gonna [Dm] die just a [E] little more on [Am] each Saint _ Valentine's Day.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] Don't you remember _ _ I promised _ _ I [E] would write you _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] these _ blue _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [D] valentines.
_ _ [C] _ _ [E] Blue _ _ _ [D] _ _ valentines.
_ [Am] Blue _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ valentines. _
