Verse
G Am
Valerie was queen of the sweets
C G
Different kinds all in a line

With heart shaped chocolates in the window

Patron of the oldest school

With plenty of mouths to feed

She was just a little hard on the boy
Am C G
Now Sheldon’s nowhere to be seen

I bet you don’t breathe easy

And now that he’s gone

Because you sure don’t
C G
Sleep easy and knowing he’s wrong

Good old valerie

Reluctantly shouldering arms
C D G
Says he’ll be back before too long

G Am
She sent the poor boy packing
C G
And mustered up a touch stone wave
Em
And looking back over the years
C G
I suppose it’s a dead giveaway
G Em
She drove the same boy home to me
C G
And said you know blood’s thicker than water
Em
You wouldn’t think to look at her but man
C G
Shell crush your spirits in a pestle and mortar
Chorus

I bet you don’t breathe easy

And now that he’s gone

Sleep easy and knowing he’s wrong

Good old valerie

Reluctantly shouldering arms
C D G
Says he’ll be back before too long

I bet you don’t breathe easy

Reluctantly shouldering arms
