Valium


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. -Tim Fletcher (funkmon at gmail.com) 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
