Blue Valentines Chords

(ver. 2)
Tom Waits
[Verse]
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                E9
And it feels like a warrant
    Am7      A7
Is out for my arrest
                 Dm7            E9       Am7     A7
Baby you got me checkin in my rearview mirror
            Dm7           E7
That's 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
                Dm7        E9
To send me these blue valentines

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

             Dm7       E9
She sends me blue valentines
         Dm7               E9
Though I try to remain at large
           Dm7              E9
They're insisting that our love
            Am7  A7
Must have a eulogy
Dm7                     E9
Why do I save all this madness
              Am7       A7
Here in the nightstand drawer
         Dm7           E7
There to haunt upon my shoulders
      Am7
Baby I know
        Dm7       E9                      Am7
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
          B7
With this blind and broken heart
                        E9
That sleeps beneath my lapel

                Dm7       E9
Instead.. these blue valentines
         Dm7                 E9
They remind me of my cardinal sin
      Dm7             E9
I can never wash the guilt
                 Am7            A7
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
       Dm7                  E7
And it takes a hole lot of whiskey
                 Am7       A7
To take this nightmares go away
      B7                           E9
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
      Dm7           E9                 Am7      A7
And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day

[Outro]
           B7             E9         A7
Don't you remember that I promised I would
Write you...
       Dm7       E9
These blue valentines
 Dm7       E9
 blue valentines
Dm7   B7    Am7
 blue valentines
