  This is the story of Victoria Lee
    E              Bm           A             E
She started off on Percodan and ended up with me 
E              Bm                A                    E
  She lived in Berkeley 'til the earthquake shook her loose
E              Bm              A            E
  She lives in Texas now where nothin' ever moves 

   D         F#m              A               E
Victoria you talk so low that no one else can hear
  D                   F#m         A               E
Unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear 

E             Bm          A     E 
  This is the story of Victoria Lee
    E            Bm          A             E
She started on Rohypinol and ended up with me

You'd like to think they're your friends, but they're not your friends 
                 B                             D7                   
And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know, oh don't you know
      D                                      A
You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie, you see through me
         B                           D7                   A
but it's true, and in the end you'll know, Victoria don't go 
   D                     A
Victoria, Victoria don't go

  This is the story of Victoria's heart
E                    Bm          A                  E
You might think it's stupid, but I still think it's art 
E            Bm          A           E
She lost her lover to an accident at sea
E              Bm            A             E
She pushed him overboard and ended up with me

It's a really big one, and I don't know where to start.
