I didn't have the heart to sell it
So I just gave your coat away
I took it to the Salvation Army
Where holy goners go to pray
I gave you my last drop of feeling
I made myself a shepherd's pie
And I've been sleeping in my blue jeans
I comb my hair to the other side
I had a dream we were together
My baby blue, your boy in black
When you see your mother in Chicago
Tell her I'm happy to give you back
I haven't smoked since I was fourteen years
I haven't lied since I was ten
But in my head I am a felon
I take a drag before I go to bed
I held your hand at the gravesite
Your beauty lost where your body lay
And the day I knew you would believe in me
I burned a tattoo on my leg
There's more air in Chicago
You can be on the other side
Because I'm not so good at failure
In case your mother asks you why
I had a dream we were together
My baby blue, your boy black
When you see your mother in Chicago
Tell her I'm happy to give you back
Tell her I'm happy to give you back
Tell her I'm happy to give you back
