   C   F|  F   C|  F   C|  F   G|  F   C|
[VERSE 1]
       C          F|                 F      C|
Someday boy you'll reap what you've sown
              F                  C|        F     G|
You'll catch a cold and you'll be on your own
            F               C|           F     C|
And you will see that what's wrong with me
             F              C| 
Is wrong with everyone that
                    Dm                G|  F   C|
You want to play your little games on
          C       F|                 F       C|
Poetry and flowers pretty words and threats
                  F              C|                F     G| 
You've gone to the dogs again and i'm not placing bets
             F            C|             F       C|
On you coming home tonight anything but blind
                  F                 C|             Dm      G| 
If you take me for granted then you must expect to find

Surprise, surprise
 C   Em   Am* |
[CHORUS]
               Am|  F   C|  F       G|  C   Em   Am* |

Valentine's day is over
[VERSE 2]
            G|                 F|                C|         C| 
If you want to talk about it well you know where the phone is
                G|          E|                F|      Fm|
Don't come round reminding me again how brittle bone is
                   C|    G|                    F|      G  
God didn't make you an angel the devil made you a man
      |          C|             E|             F|         Fm|
That brutality and economy are related now I understand
                        C|       E|             F|         Fm|
When will you realise that as above so below there is no love

[VERSE 3]
                             C|       G| 
For the girl with the hour glass figure
                 F|     G|
Time runs out very fast
                 C|               E|               F|    Fm|
We used to want the same things but that's all in the past
                      C|                       E|
And lately it seems that as it all gets tougher
                          F|                         Fm|
Your ideal of justice just becomes rougher and rougher

[CHORUS]
               Am|  F   C|  F       G|  C   Em   Am* |
Valentine's day is over, it's over

Valentine's day is over

                 C                     F|                 F   C|
Thank you for the things you bought me thank you for the card
                 F                    C|                F     G|
Thank you for the things you taught me when you hit me hard
                     F              C|              F          C| 
That love between two people must be based on understanding
                        F                 C|
Until that's true you'll find your things
                     Dm           G|          F       C|
All stacked out on the landing, surprise, surprise
 C   Em   Am* |
[CHORUS]
               Am|  F   C|  F       G|  C   Em   Am* |
Valentine's day is over, it's over
               Am|  F        C|  G        C|  F    C|  G  C  
Valentine's day is over, it's over, it's over
