Great Expectations

[Intro] C  Am  C  Am  Fmaj7  C

C
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
  Am
I remember like we were alive
  C
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
     Am
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
         C
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Am
Licking young boys blood from her claws
      C
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
             Am
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb

Fmaj7                   G
My heart's like, like a wound

          Am          Fmaj7           C              G
But I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Am        Fmaj7            C                   G
Everybody leaves and I'd expect this much from you
      Am          Fmaj7           C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Am        Fmaj7      C    G            C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

C
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
       Am
Better safe than making then making the party
    C
And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside
     Am
With papers and poetry about Estella

Fmaj7      G
Great expectations
           Fmaj7         G
We had the greatest expectations

      Am          Fmaj7           C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Am        Fmaj7         C            G
Everybody left me Mary, why wouldn't you?
      Am          Fmaj7           C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Am        Fmaj7      C    G            Am   Fmaj7  C  G
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

                   Am         Fmaj7  C  G
It's funny how the night moves
                    Am    Fmaj7  C  G
Humming a song from 1962

        Fmaj7  G
We were always waiting
        Fmaj7  G
We were always waiting
        Fmaj7  G                        Am     G
We were always waiting for something to happen

      Am          Fmaj7           C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Am        Fmaj7         C            G
Everybody left me Mary, why wouldn't you?
      Am          Fmaj7           C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Am        Fmaj7      C    G            C     Am    C   Am  Fmaj7  G   C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
