C/G
Find another lover tomorrow
    F
Go find another lover today
Bb                     F
You've been so long on lonely street
          C/G                          c,b,a,
That you're surely falling into decay


G                   F
It's time to reconstruct yourself
G                           G#
Time to test the water again
         C                    G
Well it's sad to see It's a tragedy
            F
That you're wasting away

F                          G
Look around tell me Is it really
          Em
worth the price
         F
That you pay
G
On Valentina Way


(GUITAR PASSAGE)

C/G
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/G                          c,b,a,
To attract a butterfly like that


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


F
Oh, buy yourself a ticket
   G          Em      F
On anything leaving today
G

(GUITAR PASSAGE)


Bridge:

G#    A#                    Gm              G#
Oh the rain comes down And shines up the stars
G#    A#                    Gm              G#                            Gsus    G
Oh, the night steps out In streetlights and bars To the sounds of guitars

Listen ...
