You belong to [F] the gang and you say you can't [D] break [Em] away, [C] but I'm here with my [D] hands [G] on my heart.
[C] And our families can't [G] agree, [C] I'm your brother's sworn [A] enemy, [G]
[C] but he showers [G] out my love [C] to the [G] stars.
So [Am] wait for [F] the storm, [Dm] our new window, [G] your window, [Am] wait by [F] the car [Dm] and we'll go, [G] we'll go.
[G] [C]
[G] [C] When first we laid [G] eyes, [C] I swore to no [G] compromise, [C] till I found micro [G]-rest on [C] your skin.

You belong to [F] the gang and you say you can't [D] break [Em] away, [C] but I'm here _ with my [D] hands [G] on my heart. _ _ _
[C] And our _ families can't [G] agree, _ [C] I'm your brother's sworn [A] enemy, [G] _
[C] but he showers [G] out my love [C] to the _ [G] stars. _
So [Am] wait for [F] the storm, [Dm] our new _ window, [G] your window, _ [Am] _ wait by [F] the car _ [Dm] and we'll go, [G] _ we'll go.

_ _ [G] _ _ [C] When first we laid [G] eyes, [C] I swore to no [G] compromise, _ [C] till I found micro [G]-rest on [C] your skin.
[G] _ _ _ But how [C] soon we [G] were betrayed, your [C] sister gave [G] us away, _ [C] and your _ father [G] came all _ [C] _ unhinged.
_ [G] _ _ [C] So [Am] wait for [F] the storm, our [Dm] new _ window, [G] your _ window, [Am] wait by [F] the car [Dm] and we'll go, [G] _ we'll _ [A] go. _
[C] But oh, _ [Em] _ Valencia, _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] with blood still oiled [C] on the ground, _ _ [Em] _ Valencia, _ [Am] _ _ and [F] sweated _ stars, _ _ [Dm] I'll burn this whole city [G] _ down.

[C] I heard was [G] a shout of [C] your brother calling [G] me out, and [C] you ran [G] like a fool _ [C] to my side.
[G] _ _
Well, [C] the shot _ [G] hit it hard, and [C] your frame went limp in [G] my arms, [C] and in awe [G] of love was your [C] dying cry.
_ [G] _ _
So [Am] wait for [F] the storm, our [Dm] new _ window, [G] your window, _ [Am] wait by [F] the car _ [Dm] and we'll go, [G] _ we'll _ go.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ Valencia, _ [Am] _ _
with your [F] blood still oiled on the [C] ground, _
_ [Em] _ Valencia, _ [Am] _ _
and I'll [F] burn this whole city [C] down. _
_ [Em] _ Valencia, _ [Am] _ with your [F] blood getting cold [C] on the ground, _
_ [Em] Valencia, _ _ [Am] _ and I'll [F] sweat the _ stars, I'll [Dm] burn this whole city [G] _ down. _
