Verse 1 -

CMary, (x32010@1)this station is playing every sad song
AmI (x02210@1)remember like we were alive

AmIn (x02210@1)a prison cell, where we spent those nights
CAnd (x32010@1)they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
AmLicking (x02210@1)young boys blood from her claws
CAnd (x32010@1)I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
AmHer (x02210@1)hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
