E9: EADGHe: 0X2132 E9 Dm7 E9 She sends me blue valentines Dm7 E9 All the way from Philadelphia Dm7 E9 To mark the anniversary Am7 A7 Of someone that I used to be Dm7 And it feels just like theres E9 Am7 A7 A warrant out for my arrest Dm7 E9 Am7 A7 Got me checkin in my rearview mirror Dm7 E7 And I'm always on the run Am7 Thats why I changed my name B7 E9 And I didn't think you'd ever find me here Chorus: Dm7 E9 To send me these blue valentines Dm7 E9 blue valentines Dm7 E9 Am7 hese blue valentines Blue valentines Like half forgotten dreams Like a pebble in my shoe As I walk these streets And the ghost of your memory Is the thistle in the kiss And the burgler that can break a roses neck It's the tatooed broken promise That I hide beneath my sleeve And I see you every time I turn my back She sends me blue valentines Though I try to remain at large They're insisting that our love Must have a eulogy Why do I save all of this madness There to haunt upon my shoulders Baby I know I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go With a blind and broken heart That sleeps beneath my lapel She sends me my blue valentines To remind me of my cardinal sin I can never wash the guilt Or get these bloodstains off my handa And it takes a lot of whiskey To take this nightmares go away And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day Don't you remember that I promised I would Write you...
