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

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