Blue Valentines Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm][E][Dm][E][Dm]
[E]
She sends me [Dm]blue [E]valentines
All the [Dm]way from Phila[E]delphia
[Dm]To mark [E]the anniversary
[Am]Of someone that I used to [A]be[Am]
[A]And it feels [Dm]just like[E] a warrant
Is [Am]out for my arrest
Baby, you got me [Dm]checkin'
[E]In my rearview mir[Am]ror
[A]That's why[Dm] I'm always
[E]on the run
[Am]That's why I changed my name
And I did[B]n't think you'd ever
find [E]me here

[Verse 2]
To send me [Dm]blue [E]valentines
[Dm]Like half-forgotten dreams
[E]dreams
Like a [Dm]pebble in [E]my shoe
As [Am]I walk these streets
[Dm]And the ghost o[E]f your memory
Baby, it's the [Am]thistle in the kiss
[A]It's the bur[Dm]glar that can bre[E]ak
a rose's [Am]neck[A]
It's the ta[Dm]tooed broken [E]promise
I gotta [Am]hide beneath my sleeve
I'm going to [B]see you every
time I turn my [E]back

[Verse 3]
[E]She[Dm][E][Dm][E][Dm]
[E][Am][A][Dm][E][Am]
[Dm][Am][E][Am]
[A][Dm][E][Am]
[B]sen[E]ds me blue v[Dm]alent[Am]ines[E]
Though I [Dm]try to re
[E]main at large
They're insist[Dm]ing
[E]that our love
Must have a eu[Am]logy
[A]Why do I sav[Dm]e all of this madnes[E]s
Here in the [Am]nightstand drawer
[A]There to hau[Dm]nt upon my sho[E]ulders
Baby, [Am]I know
I'd be [Dm]luckier to [E]walk around
[Am]everywhere I go
With this [B]blind and broken heart
That sleeps be[E]neath my lapel

[Verse 4]
[E]Instead, [Dm]these blue [E]valentines
To remind [Dm]me of my c[E]ardinal sin
[Dm]I can never wash the [E]guilt
Or get these [Am]bloodstains off my [A]hands
An[Dm]d it takes a lot of [E]whiskey
To make [Am]these nightmares go [A]away
And I [Dm]cut my bleedin'
[E]heart out every [Am]night[A]
And [Dm]I'm going to die a [E]little more
on each St. [Am]Valentines day
Don't [B]you remember,
I promised [E]I would write you
These [Dm]blue [E]valentines
[Dm]Blue [E]valentines
[Dm]Blue [E]valentines[E][Am]
