#INTRO
Dm7 Dm7E9 E9 (x3)

Dm7 Dm7 E9 E9
She sends me, blue valentines
Dm7 Dm7 E9 E9
All the way from Philadelphia
Dm7 Dm7 E9 E9
To mark the anniversary
Am7 Am7 A7 A7
Of someone that I used to be
Dm7 Dm7
And it feels like there's
E9 E9 Am7 Am7 A7 A7
A A warrant is out for my arrest
Dm7 Dm7 E9 E9 Am7 Am7 A7 A7
Baby you got me checkin' in my rear view mirror
Dm7 Dm7 E9 E9
That's why I'm always on the run
Am7 Am7 A7 A7
That's why I changed my name
B7 B7 E7 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

# I understand that the chord I have used for E9 E9 is not technically
# an E9 E9 as it is missing the root note. The E E root is implied to
# provide a better voicing.

# This lick can be played in the intro between the Dm7 Dm7 and E9 E9
# chords.

# This song is an excellent way to explore other variations
# of chords other than those pictured in those automatically
# provided. Listen to the track and substitute other versions
# of the same chord to make the changes less monotonous.
