Intro:
G+G | A minorAm | D MajorD | x2
Verse 1:
G+G
She walked into the room
A minorAm D MajorD
Like people tend to do when they show up
G+G
She was only twenty-two
A minorAm D MajorD
And sick of people telling her to grow up
G+G
It just gets worse the more you wait
A minorAm D MajorD
And you could easily find a date if you only wanted to
G+G
You're such a pretty girl
A minorAm D MajorD
From your lavender hair down to your combat boots
Pre-Chorus 1:
A minorAm D MajorD
She tried hard to get that feeling
A minorAm D MajorD
That comes easy to you and I
A minorAm D MajorD
Still, she thought it might be funny
A minorAm D7D7 E minorEm
To do one selfless deed before she died
Chorus:
G+G
Valerie
A minorAm D MajorD
She doesn't know how to be like every other
G+G A minorAm
Girl, she's alone in her little world
D MajorD
And you can't come in
G+G
Valerie
A minorAm D MajorD
Standing on the balcony
G+G A minorAm D MajorD
And if you look you could see into her mind
But you can't come in
Verse 2:
G+G
And if you never knew nobody
A minorAm D MajorD
Then how'd you ever know that you were lonely
G+G
She'd known someone who had
A minorAm D MajorD
And if that's the case then what's the point in knowing
G+G
She stood there in the open
For everyone to see
A minorAm D MajorD
Too proud to ask for anybody's help
G+G
She had this revelation
A minorAm
The sheer amount of work that it would take
D MajorD
To be like everybody else
Pre-Chorus 2:
A minorAm D MajorD
But she didn't want them anyways
A minorAm D MajorD
She's no damsel in distress
A minorAm D MajorD
She just sipped her daiquiri
A minorAm D MajorD
And wished she wasn't easily convinced
Am7Am7 D7D7
But who were you fooling anyways?
Am7Am7 D7D7
You should have guessed, you should have known
Am7Am7 D7D7
It doesn't matter what they say
Am7Am7 D7D7 D MajorD E minorEm
Some people like to be alone
Chorus:
G+G
Valerie
A minorAm D MajorD
She doesn't know how to be like every other
G+G A minorAm
Girl, she's alone in her little world
D MajorD
And you can't come in
G+G
Valerie
A minorAm D MajorD
Standing on the balcony
G+G A minorAm D MajorD
And if you look you could see into her mind
G+G
But you can't come in
Outro:
A minorAm D MajorD
You can't come in
G+G
You can't come in
A minorAm D MajorD
No, You can't come in
G+G
You can't come in
A minorAm D MajorD
You can't come in
G+G
You can't come in
A minorAm D MajorD
No, You can't come in
G+G
You can't come in
You can't come in
G+G G+G
You can't come in
