She sends me blue valentines, all the way from

Philadelphia.

To mark the anniversary of someone that I used to be.

Dm7

Am7

And it feels just like theres a warrant out for my arrest.

Dm7

Am7
A7 /
Baby you got me checkin in my rearview mirror.
/
Dm7
E7 /
Am7
/
Thats why I'm always on the run, thats why I changed
my name.

And I didn't think you'd ever find me here.

E9 /
Dm7
E9 /
To send me these blue valentines, like half forgotten

dreams.
/
Dm7
E9 /
Am7
A7 /
Like a pebble in my shoe.
As I walk these streets.
/
Dm7
E9 /
Am7
A7 /
And the ghost of your memory is the thistle in the kiss.
/
Dm7
E9 /
Am7
A7 /
And the burgler that can break a roses neck.
/
Dm7
E7 /
Am7
/
It's the tatooed broken promise that I hide beneath my
sleeve.
/
B7
/
E9
And I see you every time I turn my back.

They're insisting that our love must have a eulogy.

Why do I save all of this madness here in the
nightstandrow.
/
Dm7
E9 /
Am7
A7 /
there to haunt upon my shoulders baby I know.
/
Dm7
E7 /
Am7
/
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go.
/
B7
/
E9
/
With a blind and broken heart that sleeps beneath my
lapel.

Instead these blue valentines to remind me of my

cardinal sin.
/
Dm7
E9 /
Am7
A7 /
I can never wash the guilt or get these bloodstains off
my hands.
/
Dm7
E9 /
Am7
A7 /
And it takes a whole lot of whiskey to take this
nightmares go away.
/
Dm7
E9 /
Am7
A7 /
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nitght.
/
Dm7
E7 /
Am7
/
And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day.
