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

_ [E] _ She [Am] sends _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
me blue _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _
valentines
_ [Dm] Though I try _ [E] to remain at [D] large
They're [Dm] insisting [E] that our love [A] must have a eulogy _
_ _ Well do [D] I save all this [E] madness
_ [A] Here in the nightstand room
_ _ [Dm] That'll hold [E] my shoulders
_ [Am] Baby I know
_ [A] I'll _ [Dm] be luckier
_ [E] Walk around _ [Am] everywhere I go _ _
With this [B] blind broken heart
That sleeps [E] beneath my lapel
_ _ Instead _ these [Dm] blue _ _ _ valentines
Do remind me [E] of my carnal sin
I [Dm] can never _ [E] wash the guilt
Or get [Am] these blood stains off my [A] hands
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ I [A] can _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [E]
never [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _
wash [D] _ the guilt
_ [E] _ _
Or get these blood [Am] stains off _ _ my hands
[B] I can never wash the guilt
_ Or get these blood stains off my hands
[E] I would write you _ _ _ [Dm] these blue _ [E] _ _ valentines [D] Blue _ _ [E] _ _ valentines
Blue [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
valentines
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
