Valentines Day Is A Lie

capo 3 G Hey girl... Em I wrote you a new song... Am D About Valentine's Day-ay-ay... And how it's one fat lie! G If you Google St. Valentine's history Em You're gonna find out he's a bit of a mistery Am There's debate among the who, when, where and why D The church says there's three Saint Valentines! G The stories all vary, but they all agree Em He was beaten and killed pretty terribly Am Stories galore of his courageous acts D (once) Though none of them are based on historical facts G So it's Valentine's Day and you're single Em And you've got nobody with which you can mingle, baby Am Dry your eyes, no tears, don't cry D Don't you know Valentine's Day is one fat lie G Nobody really knows who St. Valentine was Em So they gave him lots of story... just because Am Dry your eyes, no tears, don't cry D Now you know Valentine's Day is one fat lie G We spend 20 billion dollars a year Em On roses and heart-shaped souvenirs Am Sentimental ads try to tug at our heartstrings D "Show her you love her with a 40,000 dollars ring!" G So it goes, we'll drive to Walmart Em Buy a rose, and a card from Hallmark Am Surprise you're girl "Oh Honey, you're so sweet!" D (once) But is it really that sweet when there's a deadline to meet? G So it's Valentine's Day and you're single Em And you've got nobody with which you can mingle, baby Am Dry your eyes, no tears, don't cry D Don't you know Valentine's Day is one fat lie G Our economy depends on it every year Em It's really less about love, more related to fear Am Dry your eyes, no tears, don't cry D Now you know Valentine's Day is one fat lie Em Bm I'm not trying to hate on couples on this holiday C D G Love can be so beautiful in oh so many ways Em Why you gotta have to wait Bm To take your mate out on a specific date Am D (once) When you got 365 days a year? NO CHORDS So it's Valentine's Day and you're single And you've got nobody with which you can mingle, baby Dry your eyes, no tears, don't cry Don't you know Valentine's Day is one fat lie G So it's Valentine's Day and you're single Em And you've got nobody with which you can mingle, baby Am Dry your eyes, no tears, don't cry D Now you know Valentine's Day is one fat lie- It's over!
