[Verse]
Am F
We were living in this matchbox
Am F
Well, it must be quite some time.
G
I was slaving at the steel mill
F
every day on the production line.
[Verse]
Am F
And I came home one summer evening.
Am F
The place was empty, ain't that strange?
G
She left a message on the mirror.
F
In pink lipstick she signed her name.
[Chorus]
D
It said, I don't like this and I
G
don't like that and I'm
C Bb
gonna hit the town.
D
Yes, I'm leaving you and I
G
won't be back.
C Bb
Goodbye Valentine! Yes it is!
[Verse]
Am F
So I called up all my best friends
Am F
I said: "Hey, boys, just come around."
G
We've howling like a gang of alley cats.
F
We've up and down and hanging 'round the main.
[Verse]
Am F
The postman woke me in the morning.
Am F
He was banging on my door.
G
He said: "I got a postcard from Jamaica
F
and a telegram from New York"
[Chorus]
D
It says, I don't like this and I
G
don't like that. This is
C Bb
such a dirty town.
D
Well, I've spent all your money and it
G
won't be back.
C Bb
Goodbye Valentine!
[Interlude]

I'm on my second bottle of Dr. Good

Asus
real good time 'cause you
E7/Ab
know I'll do the same.
Bb

[Verse]
Am F
Later on, I don't remember
Am F
Valentine was on the telephone.
G
She said, "I'm living with my mother
F
and I'm bored, now can I come home?"
F
Now can I come home?
[Chorus]
D
I said her: "I don't like this and I
G
don't like that. Well,
C Bb
excuse me, what's your name?"
D
But it's too late now 'cause I've
G
changed my mind.
C Bb
It's goodbye, Valentine. (Valentine) Yeah!
[Outro]
D
You can take your silly hat collection and your
G
sixty pairs of shoes.
C Bb
Your Madonna records always were a pain. (Valentine)
D G
Your suitcase full of sequins. Take your bean bag too.
C Bb Bb
This is goodbye, Valentine (Valentine, Valentine)
Bb Bb
Goodbye, Valentine
D
Well, I don't like this
D
And I don't like that, no!
D
This is goodbye, Valentine
