Verse 2 - C Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life Am Better safe than making the party C And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside, Am With papers and poetry about Estella Prechorus 2- Guitar 1 F G F G With great expectations, we had the greatest expectations Chorus- Am F C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Am F C G Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you Am F C G I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life Am F C G C Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
