[D] [G]
[D] [G] You [G] belong to [D] the gang, [G]
and you say you can't [D] break [Em] away,
[C] but I'm [G] here with [D] my [C] hands on my heart.
[G]
[C] And our families [G] can't agree, [C] I'm your brother's sworn [A] enemy,
[G]
[C] but he showers [G] out my love [C] to the stars.
[G] So
[Am] we'll wait for [F] the storm [Dm] on your window, [G] your window,
[Am] we'll wait by [F] the car, [Dm] and we'll go, [G] we'll go.
[C]
[G] [C]
[G] [C] When first [G] we laid eyes, [C] I swore to no [G] compromise,
[C] feel the bounce, my caress [C] on your skin.
[G] [C] But how soon we [G] were betrayed, [C] your sister gave [G] us away,
[C] and your father [G] came all [C] unhinged.
[G] [Am] So we'll wait [F] for the storm [Dm] on your window, [G] your window,
[Am] we'll wait [F] by the car, [Dm] and we'll [G] go, we'll [A] go.
[C] [Em] Valencia,
[Am] [F] with blood [Dm] still warm [C] on the ground,
[Em] Valencia,
[Am] [F] I swear to the stars, [Dm] I'll burn this whole city [G] down.
[A]
[C] [G] All
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] I heard [G] was a shout [C] of your brother [G] calling me out,
[C] and you ran [G] like a fool [C] to my side.
[G] [Em]
[C] Well, the shot [G] hit it hard, and [C] you framed wet limp in [G] my arms,
[C] and in awe [G] of love was your [C] dying cry.
[G] So [Am] we'll wait for [F] the storm on [Dm] your window, [G] your window,
[Am] we'll wait by [F] the car, [Dm] and we'll go, [G] we'll go.
[C]
[Em] Valencia, [Am] with [F] your blood still warm on [C] the ground,
[Em] Valencia, [Am] I'll [F] burn this whole [C] city down.
[Em] Valencia, [Am] [F] with your blood getting [C] cold on the ground,
[Em]
Valencia, [Am] I [F] swear to the stars, [F] [Dm] I'll burn this whole [G] city down.
