_ I [G] never had a chance in [A] art school You [E] offered new help, this poor [F] fool
And [C] I was more than [D] pleased That you had taken me under your [C] wing
And [G] during those first [A] encounters I [E] sensed curious [F] power
But [C] I was too cool [G] to understand your subtle hints
Oh Valerie, _ I never thought it would come this [F] far
Oh [G] Valerie, _ I never thought it would come _ [C] this far
I _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] never suspected your [A] intentions When you [Em] showed unusual [F] affection
But [C] when you kissed [D] my world [F] collapsed, my knees went [C] weak
In a [G] moment that just made [A] no sense I [E] lost my nerve and [F] innocence
I [C] turned and ran [G] away I'll never understand that [F] day
Oh [G] Valerie, I never thought it would [F] come this far
Oh [G] Valerie, _ I [C] never thought it would [E] come _ [C] this far
_ It's [G] so easy to see [C] now You [G] dropped a thousand [C] clues
But [E] no matter which way I turn I've got something [G] to lose
Something to [C] lose

The [G] last I saw of [A] Valerie She was [E] hung in the student [F] gallery
By [C] some aspiring [D] soul I hope she [F] understands her [C] role
Since [G] coming in my [A] confusion With [E] one less innocent [F] delusion
I've [C] got justice to [G] save Oh couldn't there have been an easier way
