Valium Chords & Lyrics by Marvelous 3
Valium
guitar chords lyrics
This was played by Butch Walker on his most recent (winter 09-10) tour, in
combination with I'm a Believer and a few other songs. I watched his hands
and wrote down the chords as I saw them. It was acoustic, so it's very
different from the studio version from '97.

Note: He plays this chord in the chorus, I'm not sure if it's a C or a G or
what, but it's close to a G7 and close to a G/C. Not sure what's up. I've
noted it thusly.
G*= 320010
Intro: G5
G5
My sprained ankle is sore from walking on it all day
G5
Trying to walk off the valium that I had to take
F5 C5 G5
'Cause I'm a hundred pound mess, and I guess that I should leave you alone
G5
I walk into the place that gave me horrible gas
G5
They said you moved to New York to teach a cooking class
F5 C5 G5
But I know that's just a cover up, 'cause I still follow you home
D
Well I'm beginning to feel just like another spinning wheel
C G*
And my shield is finally growing thin
D
And I guess I should find another favorite place to dine
C G*
Or I'm gonna have to see you again
G C
Don't leave the light on for me
G C D G D C G D C
You'll just be wasting sleep tonight
G5
It took me six whole years to work off all of the weight
G5
That I had up on my shoulders trying to be so great
F5 C5 G5
Now I feel so insecure and I'm not so really sure that I should
G5
So here's the hundred-thousand dollars and the seventy cents
G5
That should buy back all the love and all the time that you spent
F5 C5 G5
Trying to make this all work, you know I feel like a jerk but it's good
D
Well I'm beginning to feel just like another spinning wheel
C G*
And my shield is finally growing thin
D
And I guess I should find another favorite place to dine
C G*
Or I'm gonna have to see you again
G C
Don't leave the light on for me
G C D G D C G D C
You'll just be wasting sleep tonight
