        Em7  Bm       Gmaj7
Build a fire for Val Jester
        Em7  Bm        Gmaj7
Build a room for your love
          Em7  Bm        Gmaj7
Take your time when you tell her
         Em7  Bm       Gmaj7
How she lives in your blood

Chorus:
Em7   Bm               Gmaj7
You should have looked after her better
Em7   Bm               Gmaj7
You should have looked after her more
Em7  Bm   Gmaj7
               You should have locked the door

Fill her coat with weapons
And help her get it on
Cause one day when she goes
She's gone

Chorus:
You should have held onto her better
You should have held onto her more
You should have locked the door

All the most important people in New York
are nineteen
All the most important people in New York
All the most important people in New York
are nineteen
All the most important people in New York
