Great Expectations Chords

(ver. 2)
The Gaslight Anthem
Right, can't really be bothered to do it properly but play these chords as power 
chords and it sounds better. 

AWESOME BAND!!!!!!!
Bb
Mary, this station is playing every sad song.
G
I remember like we were alive.
Bb
I heard it Sunday morn' from inside of these walls.
G
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights.
Bb
And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her.
G
Licking young boys blood from her claws.
Bb
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew.
G
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb.
Eb               F
My heart's like a wound.


G                 Eb              Bb             F
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
G                 Eb              Bb            F
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
G                 Eb              Bb             F
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
G                 Eb              Bb
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Bb

Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life.
Better safe than making the party.
And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside, with papers and poetry about Estella.
Great expectations, we had the greatest expectations.

I saw tail lights last night In a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

G - Eb - Bb - F
G - Eb - Bb - F
It's funny how the night moves.
G - Eb - Bb - F
Humming a song from 1962.
G - Eb - Bb - F

        Eb     F          Eb     F
We were always waiting... always waiting.
        Eb     F                        G
We were always waiting for something to happen.

I saw tail lights last night In a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Bb - G - Bb - G - Eb - F - Bb    to end.
