Blue Headlights by Shout Out Louds
Blue Headlights
Dm G C F
Sarah wrote epistles on the subject of despair
Dm G C F
on the night last year when there was no love in the air.
Dm G C F
Listen friend she wrote, and I heard her pen cry before it broke.
Dm G C G F
Who are we and why, oh why can't we behave?
Dm G C
We are good people, aren't we? Do you know?
Dm G C F
Jon-jon had surprising eyes and narrow black suede shows,
Dm G C F
a war to fight in Paris and a sister with the blues.
Dm G C F
Puisque ton papa est en voyage you heard your mother making
Dm G C G F
love is not what we are Jon-jon, you and I
Dm G C
are rats at cupids table and we're fine.
Dm G C F
In the darkest corner of a downstairs gathering
Dm G C F
ladybirds and pirate cowboys, made up, conversing.
Dm G C F
Islands sinking from musicians, bedtime stories, York Magicians,
Dm G C G F
but you don't have to worry darling, frozen hearts leave
Dm G C
seethrough scarring, and no one else will know unless you tell.
Dm G C F
Drink to ghosts of past years' catastrophic love affairs,
Dm G C F
to robes of red and silver tales worn thin from too much care.
Dm G C F
Comfort doesn't always come in glasses, but perhaps tonight
Dm G C G F
I won't be the only one with blue headlights.
Dm G C
Come on ladies, take your love to town.
Dm G C
Pick it up boys, take your love to town.
Dm G C
Everybody, take your love to town.

You don't have to play the bar chords, it sounds just as good playing the chords
with a second guitar picking over top.
