Verse:
C
Find another lover tomorrow
   F
Go find another lover today
       Bb              F
You've been so long on lonely street
            C                          | C C C/B C/A |
That you're surely falling into decay


Pre-Chorus:
G                  F
 It's time to reconstruct yourself
G                       Ab
Time to test the water again
          C                  G
Well it's sad to see, it's a tragedy
            F
That you're wasting away


Chorus:
F
Look around, tell me
      G                Em             F
Is it really worth the price that you pay
G                  C :

Verse:
C
I don't think she's ready to listen
F
I don't think she wants to come back
    Bb               F
The atmosphere's too cold in here
     C                          | C C C/B C/A |
To attract a butterfly like that


Pre-Chorus:
G                     F
 I think she took the boat-train out
G                        Ab
Maybe caught the night express
          C                   G
She's got devious lies and chameleon eyes
        F
And she can't care less


Chorus:
    F
Oh, buy yourself a ticket
   G        Em        F
On anything leaving today
G                    C :
 From Valentina Way

Oh the rain comes down and shines up the stars

To the sounds of guitars,    listen ...
