B
To the east the factories stand
                            F#
Like fire-breathing dragons against the sky
    B
And from their throats a scarlet river
                        F#
Burns itself into smoky lullabies
     E
Over neon and fluorescent skies Valerie,
Can you hear those engines drone
  B
I wanted to go to Mexico
        F#
But I'm stranded here alone
    E
And once I knew a true love
It's been three years since he's gone
    B
And if I could get that feeling back
    F#                   E    B
I'd give up everything I own
B
16 days since I left Corona
                                          F#
And I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndee
      B
And I rode the coaster there on the fairground
                                 F#
Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals
      E
And I left some skin on fortune's wheel
Valerie, can you hear those engines drone
  B
I wanted to go to Mexico
        F#
But I'm stranded here alone
    E
And once I knew a true love
It's been three years since he's gone
    B
And if I could get that feeling back
    F#                   E   B
I'd give up everything I own
E
Everything's in slow motion now
F#
In this little border town
E                          F#
I've come so close from so far
E
Just to hide behind these windows here
F#
>From the world outside
  E
I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust
F#                            E
Down the road as they pass by Valerie,
can you hear those engines drone
  B
I wanted to go to Mexico
         F#
But I'm stranded here alone
    E
And once I knew a true love
It's been three years since he's gone
    B
And if I could get that feeling back
    F#                   E    B
I'd give up everything I own
             E    B
Everything I own
             E    B
Everything I own
