Verse 2:

Pages of a book you never finished reading

Box of nothing much worth keeping

Ask yourself has it been so long
E MajorE              F#F#
That you've forgotten where you went wrong

F#F#  BB
Faded valentine
E MajorE    BB
Lost and found

Lonesome sounds
F#F#        BB
Echo through the night

F#F#         BB
It don't matter what it pays
E MajorE      BB
Time's gonna halve the wage
E MajorE         BB
And take it in these little ways
F#F#            BB
Whether you were wrong or right
E MajorE   F#F#     BB
Ohhhh, faded valentine
