I have tried to annotate the chords as closely as possible to the original recording - However, for beginners
I have also included easier voicings for the chords which will get you a reasonable sounding version if you 
want to play this great song and don't feel up to playing the original version yet.

[Verse]She sends me Dmaj7sus2blue valen-E9tines, all the Dmaj7sus2way from Phila-E9delphia
To Dmaj7sus2mark the anniver-E9sary, of Am7someone that I A7used to be
And it Dm7feels like a E9warrant, is out for Am7my arrest  A7  
Baby you got me Dm7checkin in my E9rearview Am7mirror  A7  
That's I'm Dm7always on the E9run, thats why I Am7changed my name
And I B7didn't think you'd ever find me E9here
To send me Dmaj7sus2blue valen-E9tines, like Dmaj7sus2half forgotten dre-E9ams 
Like a Dm7pebble in my sE9hoe, as I Am7walk these streets A7  
And the Dm7ghost of your E9memory, baby is the Am7thistle in the kiss  A7  
It's the Dm7burgler that can E9break a ro-Am7ses neck  A7  
It's the Dm7tatooed E9broken promise, Am7I got to hide beneath my sleeve
I'm gonna B7see you every time I turn my E9back

[Verse]Ahh you send me Dmaj7sus2blue valen-E9tines, though I Dmaj7sus2try  to  re-E9main at large
Dm7They're insisting E9that our love, must Am7have a eulogy   A7  
Why do I Dm7save all this E9madness, here Am7in the nightstand drawer A7  
That are Dm7hung upon my E9shoulders, Am7baby I know  A7  
I'll be Dm7luckier, E9walk around, Am7everywhere I go
With this B7blind and broken heart that sleeps be-E9neath my lapel
Instead, these Dmaj7sus2blue valen-E9tines, they Dmaj7sus2remind me of my E9cardinal sin
I can Dm7never wash the E9guilt, or get these Am7bloodstains off my A7hands
And it Dm7takes a whole lot of E9whisky, to make these Am7nightmares go away A7  
And I Dm7cut my bleeding E9heart out, every Am7night  A7  
And I'm gonna Dm7die just a little E9more on each Am7Saint Valentine's day
Don't you B7remember, I promised I E9would write you
