Faded valentine turned up at the corners
E      B       F#        B
Yellow colored stains of time
F#               B
Just thought I'd tell you
E      B
That I love you
E      B
That I want you
F#          B      F#
Always on my mind

Verse 1:
F#                        B
Take you back to days long ago
F#                  B
And love you used to know
E                      F#
Feel the hands on your chest
E                  F#
Warm breath on the back of your neck

Chorus:
F#    B
Faded valentine
E      B
Wasted words
E       B
Cheap as dirt
F#          B
Not worth a dime

F#    B
Oh my darling
E               B
You'll never be forgotten
E            B
Signed at the bottom
F#               B
Forever, for all time

Verse 2:
F#                                 B
Pages of a book you never finished reading
F#                        B
Box of nothing much worth keeping
E                   F#
Ask yourself has it been so long
E                           F#
That you've forgotten where you went wrong

Chorus:
F#    B
Faded valentine
E        B
Lost and found
E        B
Lonesome sounds
F#               B
Echo through the night

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