Great Expectations The Gaslight Anthem
Intro:
C* Am* C* Am* Fmaj7 G*
[C]Mary, this station is playing every sad song
I [Am]remember like we were alive
I [C]heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
In a [Am]prison cell, where we spent those nights
And they [C]burned up the diner where I always used to find her
[Am]Licking young boys blood from her claws
And I [C]learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Her hair was [Am]raven and her heart was like a tomb
Fmaj7 G*
My heart's like, like a wound
But I saw [Am]tail lights [Fmaj7]last night in a [C]dream about my [G]first wife
[Am]Everybody [Fmaj7]leaves and I'd ex[C]pect this much from [G]you
I saw [Am]tail lights [Fmaj7]last night in a [C]dream about my [G]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
Better [Am]safe than making then making the party
And [C]I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside
With [Am]papers and poetry about Estella
Fmaj7 G*
Great expectations
Fmaj7 G*
We had the greatest expectations
I saw [Am]tail lights [Fmaj7]last night in a [C]dream about my [G]first wife
[Am]Everybody [Fmaj7]left me Mary, [C]why wouldn't [G]you?
I saw [Am]tail lights [Fmaj7]last night in a [C]dream about my [G]old life
[Am]Everybody [Fmaj7]leaves, so [C]why, [G]why wouldn't [Am]you?[Fmaj7] [C] [G]
It's funny how the [Am]night moves[Fmaj7] [C] [G]
Humming a song from [Am]1962[Fmaj7] [C] [G]
We were [Fmaj7]always [G]waiting
We were [Fmaj7]always [G]waiting
Fmaj7 G Am* G
We were always waiting for something to happen
I saw [Am]tail lights [Fmaj7]last night in a [C]dream about my [G]first wife
[Am]Everybody [Fmaj7]left me Mary, [C]why wouldn't [G]you?
I saw [Am]tail lights [Fmaj7]last night in a [C]dream about my [G]old life
Am Fmaj7 C G C Am C Am Fmaj7 G* C*
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
