[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]
          E7         D    E7
Well, I'm feeling so much better
D        E7          D  E7
Yes, I'm livin' like a king
    D     E7            D   E7
I'm on my second bottle of Dr. Good
D  E7  G
And by now I don't feel a thing.

        Bm
Well, I hope you're happy, have a
Asus
real good time 'cause you
E7/Ab
know I'll do the same.
       Bb
Yes, I will.
       Bb
Yes, I will.
       Bb
Yes, I will


[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
