(Verse)
C G7
You belong to the gang
C G7
And you say you can't break away
C G7
But I'm here with my hands
C G7
On my heart
C G7
And our families can't agree
C G7
I'm your brother's sworn enemy
C G7
But I shout out my love
C G7
To the stars
(Pre Chorus)
Am F
So await for the stone
Dm G
On your window, your window
Am F
I'll await by the car
Dm G G7
And we'll go, we'll go
(verse)
C G7
When first we laid eyes
C G7
I swore to no compromise
C G7
Till I felt my caress
C G7
On your skin
C G7
But how soon we were betrayed
C G7
Your sister gave us away
C G7 C G7
And your father came all unhinged
(Pre Chorus)
Am F
So await for the stone
Dm G
On your window, your window
Am F
I'll await by the car
Dm G G7
And we'll go, we'll go
(Chorus)
C Em Am
But O! Valencia!
F C
With your blood still warm on the ground
Em Am
Valencia!
F Dm G G7
And I swear to the stars, I'll burn this whole city down
(Verse)
C G7
All I heard was the shout
C G7
Of your brother calling me out
C G7
And you ran, like a fool
C G7
To my side
C G7
Well the shot, it hit hard
C G7
And your frame went limp in my arms
C G7
And an oath of love
C G7
Was your dying cry
(Pre Chorus)
Am F
So await for the stone
Dm G
On your window, your window
Am F
I'll await by the car
Dm G G7
And we'll go, we'll go
(Chorus)
C Em Am
But O! Valencia!
F C
With your blood still warm on the ground
Em Am
Valencia!
F Dm G G7
And I swear to the stars, I'll burn this whole city down
(Chorus)
C Em Am
But O! Valencia!
F C
With your blood still warm on the ground
Em Am
Valencia!
F Dm G G7
And I swear to the stars, I'll burn this whole city down
