Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Like a lonely tree rooted on a hill

Or a boat docked in an empty bay

Is a man frowning by the windowsill

No flowers, no cards, just a heart full of pain

A lonesome lady waiting by the mailbox

For a bundle of roses that never comes

Sitting, watching, while the clock tick-tocks

Disappointment surging at the twiddling of thumbs

Heartbreak, heartache

No hugs, no kisses, no secret handshakes

I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day

I do believe that it’s not how love should be

I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day

Because we don’t need a holiday to celebrate our love

Interlude

Like a metronome trying to catch a lost beat

Is a boy going after a runaway girl

He’s digging a tunnel at a dead-end street

Trying to buy her love with caramel swirls

Now that girl, she is in a tough spot

Her thoughts are swimming like a tsunami rushing

Is his love heart true, or does he have a blood clot?

Her heart and mind are what he’s crushing

Confusion, indecision

All it gets you is a cardiac incision

I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day

I do believe that it’s not how love should be

I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day

Because we don’t need a holiday to celebrate our love

Interlude

My love for you will never change

No matter what day of the year it is

I will stay in love with you

My love for you will never change

No matter what day of the year it is

I will stay in love with you

I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day

I do believe that it’s not how love should be

I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day

Because we don’t need a holiday to celebrate our love

Interlude

I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day

I do believe that it’s not how love should be

I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day

Because we don’t need a holiday to celebrate our love
