D           Am          G     D
This is the story of Victoria Lee
    D              Am           G             D
She started off on Percodan and ended up with me
D            Am                G                    D
She lived in Berkeley 'til the earthquake shook her loose
D            Am              G            D
She lives in Texas now where nothin' ever moves

   C         Em               G               D
Victoria you talk so low that no one else can hear
C                     Em          G               D
Unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear

D           Am          G     D
This is the story of Victoria Lee
    D            Am          G             D
She started on Rohypinol and ended up with me

C                                                     G
You'd like to think they're your friends, but they're not your friends
                 A                             C7
And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know, oh don't you know
      C                                      G
You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie, you see through me
A       C7   G
but it's true, and in the end you'll know, Victoria don't go
   C                     G
Victoria, Victoria don't go

This is the story of Victoria's heart
D                    Am          G                  D
You might think it's stupid, but I still think it's art
D            Am           G          D
She lost her lover to an accident at sea
D              Am            G             D
She pushed him overboard and ended up with me

   C         Em               G               D
Victoria you talk so low that no one else can hear
C                     Em          G               D
Unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear

D           Am          G       D
This is the story of Victoria's heart.
D             Am             G                   D
It's a really big one, and I don't know where to start.

C                                                     G
You'd like to think they're your friends, but they're not your friends
                 A                             C7
And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know, oh don't you know
      C                                      G
You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie, you see through me
A       C7   G
but it's true, and in the end you'll know, Victoria don't go
   C                     G
Victoria, Victoria don't go
   C                     G
Victoria, Victoria don't go
   C                     G
Victoria, Victoria don't go
