Blue Valentines Tab por Tom Waits

#INTRO
Dm7 – E9 (x3)

              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 like there's
  E9         Am7               A7
A warrant is out for my arrest
                Dm7            E9        Am7    A7
Baby you got me checkin' in my rear view mirror
               Dm7           E9
That's why I'm always on the run
       Am7              A7
That's why I changed my name
      B7                              E7
And I didn't think you'd ever find me here

# (repeat chord pattern throughout) 

To send me blue valentines
Like half forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe
As I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory
Baby it's the thistle in the kiss
It's the burglar that can break a roses neck
It's the tattooed broken promise
I gotta hide beneath my sleeve
I'm gonna see you every time I turn my back

# (solo) you're on your own here...

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
Here in the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders baby I know
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With this blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel
Instead these blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a whole lot of whiskey
To take this nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin' heart out every night
And I die just a little more on 
each St. Valentines Day
Don't you remember that I promised 
I would write you?
These blue valentines
Blue valentines
Blue valentines
