The Ballad Of Michael Valentine chords by The Killers

B                   Eb
Michael plays with stars
    F#m                       C#m           C
Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car
         B
Late to call
     Bb                  B
When you wanted to be all
                    Eb
Baby don't be so shy
F#               G#m              C#m
Rock children hold your heads up high
          C            B
In the night while I try
                 Eb            B
And tell the ballad of Valentine

You got it bad, but you know it's true
B
I caught up with a friend in Dallas
G#m
We took a trip to New Orleans
C#m
Those black-eyed ladies
F#
Won't say they're sorry

We finally caught a train to Memphis
Where everybody talks the same
Those blue suede babies
All know my name
chorus:
            B
And I said hold tight
                      Eb
Can't you see it's hurting me
               G#m
But I've got the buzz
Like Marlon Brando
     B         C#m           F#
Michael Valentine, can't we unite?

We ended up in North Dakota
Although my heart's in Mexico
My munequita (?)
Abra tus ojos

With your new suit, and your black tie
Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like
I broke to the right and I caught your eye
Shut your mouth and wave goodbye
Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade

And I said hold tight
Can't you see it's hurting me
But I've got the buzz
Like Marlon Brando
Straight faced with misery tonight

And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more
But I've got the buzz
Like Greta Garbo
Walking forwards in the sun
                                     G#m
And I've got a cold tale left to write

C#m
Well uh oh
          F#                   B
I know he's gonna be there tonight
