Intro:
G     | Am      | D     | x2

Verse 1:
    G
She walked into the room
                                Am       D
Like people tend to do when they show up
        G
She was only twenty-two
                                 Am       D
And sick of people telling her to grow up
             G
It just gets worse the more you wait
                                            Am        D
And you could easily find a date if you only wanted to
       G
You're such a pretty girl
                                    Am            D
From your lavender hair down to your combat boots

Pre-Chorus 1:
Am                         D
She tried hard to get that feeling
Am                         D
That comes easy to you and I
Am                             D
Still, she thought it might be funny
Am                                 D7     Em
To do one selfless deed before she died

Chorus:
G
Valerie
                 Am       D
She doesn't know how to be like every other
G                               Am
Girl, she's alone in her little world
        D
And you can't come in
G
Valerie
                Am      D
Standing on the balcony
           G                           Am    D
And if you look you could see into her mind

But you can't come in

Verse 2:
           G
And if you never knew nobody
                                      Am      D
Then how'd you ever know that you were lonely
      G
She'd known someone who had
                                               Am       D
And if that's the case then what's the point in knowing
    G
She stood there in the open

For everyone to see
    Am                           D
Too proud to ask for anybody's help
    G
She had this revelation
                                       Am
The sheer amount of work that it would take
                     D
To be like everybody else

Pre-Chorus 2:
Am                       D
But she didn't want them anyways
Am                 D
She's no damsel in distress
Am                  D
She just sipped her daiquiri
Am                    D
And wished she wasn't easily convinced

Am7                       D7
But who were you fooling anyways?
Am7                                      D7
You should have guessed, you should have known
Am7               D7
It doesn't matter what they say
Am7                     D7    D   Em
Some people like to be alone

Chorus:
G
Valerie
                 Am       D
She doesn't know how to be like every other
G                               Am
Girl, she's alone in her little world
        D
And you can't come in
G
Valerie
                Am      D
Standing on the balcony
           G                           Am    D
And if you look you could see into her mind
                      G
But you can't come in

Outro:
               Am   D
You can't come in
               G
You can't come in
                   Am   D
No, You can't come in
               G
You can't come in
               Am   D
You can't come in
               G
You can't come in
                   Am   D
No, You can't come in
               G
You can't come in

You can't come in
               G  G
You can't come in

NOTE:
The Em at the end of the pre-chorus is optional. Alternatively just continue playing D7.
