Valentine

Am           Em               F    G        C     G
Put it in formaldehyde, and he did not look back,
   C                      G
He placed the head on his mantelpiece,
          Am           Em
Where the family shots used to be,
     F        D/F# G  E/G#
And he poured a Cognac.

       Am         Am7/G
As the weeks went by,
         F      G
They saw eye to eye,
          Am       Am7/G
They were meant to be,
       F     E
It was destiny.

C
She was all he wanted,
        G                          Am
She was all that he’d been waiting for,
   Am7/G    F        Em       D/F#  G
He knew for sure, he knew for sure,
C
She was all he wanted,
      G                          Am
So he took her from the man next door,
   Am7/G     D/F#     F         C*
He loved her more, he loved her more.

N.C.  C                        G                       Am
A     year had passed when his neighbor knocked on the door,
        Em                        F       G           Am     Bm
And his heart just stopped, but he said, "Please come in",
    C                     G
The next door man talked about his loss,
       Am                  Em
But he never knew just how close he was,
       F         D/F#        G  E/G#
Cause she looked straight at him,

       Am         Am7/G
As the years went by,
         F      G
He quit asking why,
          Am       Am7/G
They were meant to be,
       F     E
It was destiny.

C
She was all he wanted,
        G                          Am
She was all that he’d been waiting for,
   Am7/G    F        Em       D/F#  G
He knew for sure, he knew for sure,
C
She was all he wanted,
      G                          Am
So he took her from the man next door,
   Am7/G     D/F#     F         D#  F
He loved her more, he loved her more,
             C
He loved her more.

    G
Na, naaa, na, naa, na,
Am  Am7/G
Na, naaa, na, naa, na,

      C                  G
She'd been his life, his guiding star,
      Am                  Em
So he took her out of her see-through jar,
        F     G      Am     Bm
Cause he knew it was time,
   C                         G
He kissed her mouth, put her back inside,
       Am            Em
And he laid down and there he died,
       F    D/F# G  E/G#
Next to his valentine.

       Am   Am7/G
No one ever knew,
       F     G
No one had a clue,
       Am   Am7/G
He was only missed,
       F     E
By the tax office.

C
She was all he wanted,
        G                          Am
She was all that he’d been waiting for,
   Am7/G    F        Em       D/F#  G
He knew for sure, he knew for sure,
C
She was all he wanted,
      Em                         Am
So he took her from the man next door,
   Am7/G     D/F#     F         C*
He loved her more, he loved her more.

He loved her more, he loved her more.
             C*
He loved her more.
