Verse 1
C#m E G#m B
Valentino got a booky shop
C#m E G#m G#m
And what he takes he gives for what he's got
C#m E G#m B
And what he's got he says he has not
C#m E G#m G#m
Stole from anyone
Bridge
C#m G#m
It's not that he don't tell the truth
C#m F#m
Or even that he misspent his youth
C#m G#m
It's just he holds the proof
A B
But you know something's wrong
Chorus

Verse 2
C#m E G#m B
Valentino's in a cold sweat
C#m E G#m G#m
Placed all his money on that last bet
C#m E G#m B
Against all the odds he smokes another cigarette
C#m E G#m G#m
Says it helps him to forget he's a nervous wreck
Bridge
C#m G#m
It's not that he misses much
C#m F#m
Or even that he lost his lucky touch
C#m G#m
It's just that he gambles so much
A B
And you know that it's wrong
Chorus

Verse 3
C#m E G#m B
Valentino got nowhere to go
C#m E G#m G#m
On his own like Romeo
C#m E G#m B
Blow by blow he watches his money go
C#m E G#m G#m
Now he's oh so low
Bridge
C#m G#m
It's not that he misses her
