[Intro]

Am Am C G

[Verse]

G Am

Valerie was queen of the sweets

C G

Different kinds all in a line

With heart shaped chocolates in the window

For some passing valentine

Patron of the oldest school

C G

With plenty of mouths to feed

She was just a little hard on the boy

Am C G

Now Sheldon’s nowhere to be seen

[Chorus]

Em C

I bet you don’t breathe easy

And now that he’s gone

Because you sure don’t

C G

Sleep easy and knowing he’s wrong

Good old valerie

Reluctantly shouldering arms

C D G

Says he’ll be back before too long

[Verse]

G Am

She sent the poor boy packing

C G

And mustered up a touch stone wave

And looking back over the years

C G

I suppose it’s a dead giveaway

G Em

She drove the same boy home to me

C G

And said you know blood’s thicker than water

You wouldn’t think to look at her but man

C G

Shell crush your spirits in a pestle and mortar

[Chorus]

Em C

I bet you don’t breathe easy

And now that he’s gone

Because you sure don’t

C G

Sleep easy and knowing he’s wrong

Good old valerie

Reluctantly shouldering arms

C D G

Says he’ll be back before too long

[Chorus]

Em C

I bet you don’t breathe easy

And now that he’s gone

Because you sure don’t

C G

Sleep easy and knowing he’s wrong

Good old valerie

Reluctantly shouldering arms

C D G

Says he’ll be back before too long
