Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
I didn't have [G]a chance
in art [Am]school
You offered to [E]help this poor [F]fool
And I was [C]more than pleased
That [Dm]you had taken me [F]under your w[G]ing[C]
And during those [G]first encounters
[Am]I sensed a curio[E]us power
[F]But I was ill[C] equipped
To [G]understand your subtle hints

[Verse 2]
Oh [F]Valer[G]ie!
Oh! I never [C]thought it would [G]go this [C]far
Oh [F]Valer[Am]ie- [G]hee!
I never [C]thought it would
[F]go- [E]o- o- o t[D]his[G] far

[Interlude 1]
[C]

[Verse 3]
I never suspec[G]ted your intentions
[Am]When you showed unusua[E]l affection
[F]But when you kis[C]sed my cheek
My [D]world [Dm]collapsed my
[F]knees went [G]weak[C]
That moment [G]just made no [Am]sense
I lost my [Em]nerve and innocence
[F]I turned and ran[C] away
[G]I'll never understand that day

[Verse 4]
Oh [F]Valer[G]ie!
Oh! I never [C]thought it would [G]go this [C]far
Oh [F]Valer[Am] ie-[G] hee!
I never [C]thought it would
[F]go- [E]o- o- [D]o t[G]his far
[C]

[Verse 5]
[F]It's so eas[Am]y to [G]see now
[F]You dropped a tho[Am]usand clu[G]es
[F]But no mat[E]ter which way[Am] I turn[G] I've
[F]som[C]ething to los[G]e

[Interlude 2]
Something to lose!

[Verse 6]
Oh [F]Valer[G] ie!
Oh! I never [C]thought it would [G]go this [C]far
Oh [F]Valer[G]ie- hee!
I never [C]thought it would
[F]go- o- o- [E]o t[D]his[G] far[C]

[Verse 7]
The last I [G]saw of [Am]Valerie
She was followed in
[E]the school's art [F]gallery
By some as[C]piring soul
I [Dm]hope she under[F]stands her [G]role[C]
Still stumped in [G]my [Am]confusion
With one last [Em]innocent [F]illusion
I've got just [C]this to say
[G]I wish there had been an easier way

[Verse 8]
Oh- ho! [F]Valer[G] ie
I never [C]thought it would [G]go this [C]far
Oh [F]Valer[G]ie- hee!
I never [C]thought it would
[F]go- whoah- [E]o- [Dm]o- o![D]
[G]Oh [F]Valer[G]ie!
Oh! I never [C]thought it would [G]go this [C]far
Oh [F]Valer[G]ie- hee!
I never [C]thought it would [F]go [E]thi[D]s f[G]ar[C]
