[F]Rio to Cairo, [Am] London to Oslo
[Dm]Your letters have shown up from [Am]so many places
[F]Gee I don't know [Am] why you still roam
You [Dm]can't pick a friend out of [Am]two billion faces

[F]And she's the one to [D7]turn your table?
[Am]Gee I don't know -[C]- it's your heart though
[F]You take each street car that [D7]has no desire

{soc}
[C]This [Em]valen[C7]tine's not [A7]inclined
[F]No [D7]god ab[Ab]ove is gonna [Fm]take you up
[C]Makes you wa[Em]nt to [C7]climb right [A7]inside
[F]obl[D7]ivi[Ab]on 'cause she's [Fm]not in [C]love
{eoc}

[F]Most people I know, [Am]love is a straight road
They [Dm]don't pick a heart so hard a [Am]jackhammer wouldn't break it
[F]All their days flow [Am] sweet so god knows
Why [Dm]you choose your lovers on the [Am]opposite basis

[F]The ground beneath you is [D7]so unstable
And [Am]all your barrooms are like [C] Juliet's tomb
And [F]your margaritas get [D7]mixed with hell-fire

{c:Chorus}

[Dm]You've got this [E]valentine [Am]grind    [Am7]
[Dm]All you [F]do is get a [Am]little more [D7]bruised
You still [Cm]haven't worked out how [F]hard
The [Eb]ground is when she shoulders [D]arms [Db]     [C]

[C/G]        [Csus4]            [C]

[Fmiv]In the deep snow, [Ab]when you're so cold
You [Abdim7]crawl back to the one place where the [Ab]rats haven't been yet
[Fmiv]A letter from Oslo [Amv]still indicates "no"
And [Dmv]oh how you wish you were [Amv]warm dry and back here

[F]And say she needs more per[D7]suasion, no! no! no!
[Am]Castles in the air [C] hide your despair
[F]Each time your happiness [D7]sinks in the mire

{soc}
[C]This [Em]valen[C7]tine's not [A7]inclined
[F]No [D7]god ab[Ab]ove is gonna [Fm]take you up
[C]Makes you wa[Em]nt to [C7]climb right [A7]inside
[F]obl[D7]ivi[Ab]on 'cause she's [Fm]not in [D7]love
oblivi[Ab]on 'cause she's [Fm]not in [C]love
{eoc}

[C]      [Am]

You [C]drive me [Am]wild

[C]      [Am]      . . .

[F]      [Ab]      [Giii]      [Amv]      [F]      [Ab]      [Giii]      [Cviii
