C Dm

Well sometimes I go out by myself, and I look across the water

C Dm

And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I paint a picture

'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess

F Em

And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress

Why don't you come on over Va-a-lerie, Valerie-e-ee, Va-a-alerie, Valerie-e-ee

C Dm

Did you have to go to jail, put your house on up for sale, did you get a good

lawyer

C Dm

I hope you didn't catch a tan, I hope you found the right man who'll fix it for ya

C Dm

Are you shoppin' anywhere, changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?

C Dm

And did you have to pay that fine you was dodging all the time, are you still dizzy
