B                   Eb 
Michael plays with stars 
    F#m                       C#m           C 
Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car 
         B 
Late to call 
     Bb                  B 
When you wanted to be all  
                    Eb 
Baby don't be so shy 
F#               G#m              C#m      
Rock children hold your heads up high 
          C            B 
In the night while I try 
                 Eb            B 
And tell the ballad of Valentine  
 
You got it bad, but you know it's true  
B 
I caught up with a friend in Dallas 
G#m 
We took a trip to New Orleans 
C#m 
Those black-eyed ladies 
F# 
Won't say they're sorry  
 
We finally caught a train to Memphis 
Where everybody talks the same 
Those blue suede babies 
All know my name  
Chorus: 
            B 
And I said hold tight 
                      Eb 
Can't you see it's hurting me 
               G#m 
But I've got the buzz 
Like Marlon Brando 
     B         C#m           F# 
Michael Valentine, can't we unite?  
 
We ended up in North Dakota 
Although my heart's in Mexico 
My munequita (?) 
Abra tus ojos 
 
With your new suit, and your black tie 
Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like 
I broke to the right and I caught your eye 
Shut your mouth and wave goodbye 
Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade  
 
And I said hold tight 
Can't you see it's hurting me 
But I've got the buzz 
Like Marlon Brando 
Straight faced with misery tonight  
 
And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more 
But I've got the buzz 
Like Greta Garbo 
Walking forwards in the sun 
And I've got a cold tale left to write  
 
C#m 
Well uh oh 
          F#                   B 
I know he's gonna be there tonight
