I saw a welcome response to the last Material Issue song on here, so I thought
someone might like to see this one as well. Enjoy!

[Intro]
Dm Am F9 C
Dm Am F9 F9
Dm Am F9 F9
Valerie`s dancing, on the roof above my bed you know
Dm Am F9 F9
for all of the world below to see
Dm Am F9 F9
Valerie`s leaving, in a car outside my house you know
Dm Am F9 F9
Such a shame she`s not with me and all the pretty things,
F9 F9
and all the love my heart can bring,
F9 F9 F9 F9
I would give my whole life to her.
[Riff B X 4]
Valerie loves me!
Dm Am F9 F9
Valerie`s riding, in a car around my neighborhood.
Dm Am F9 F9
She`s thinking of all the men she`ll meet.
Dm Am F9 F9
I could only hope for a stolen moment of her thoughts
Dm Am F9 F9
Between the walk to the club and all the drinks she`ll have in a crowded
F9 F9 F9 F9
room where everybody leaves too soon, I only hope that she remembers me..
F9 F9
[Riff B X 4]
Valerie loves me!

[Riff B x 4]
Valerie loves me!
Dm Am F9 F9
Valeries`s lonely, in an apartment down the street you know,
Dm Am F9 F9
and her hair has turned so grey.
Dm Am F9 F9
But she`s so happy for the memories she has you know.
Dm Am F9 F9
She can believe in the day when love was on a string
F9 F9 F9 F9
And she could have had anything she ever wanted, but she can`t have me.
F9 F9
[Riff B X 4]
Valerie loves me!
