A#m        C#/G#
At night I pace the floors
 F#maj7        D#m7    F#maj7    C#/G#     C#
Tile by tile, step by step, 'til I reach a wall
A#m        C#/G#         F#maj7         D#m7
No use in forging on, I try wholeheartedly
     F#maj7     C#/G#     C#
But still end up on your lawn

Chorus:
       D#m7
'Cause I'm still waiting on my invitation
  F#maj7               G#
I shouldn't have ever gone in the truck
    A#m                         D#m7
The whole ride writing in your condensation
  F#maj7                    G#
I shouldn't have ever been calling it love

At night I take the calls from telemarketers
In hopes of hearing your drawl
I let them blather on without a thought
I surrender my credit card

Chorus:
'Cause I'm still combing through missed connections
I shouldn't have ever followed you up
I'm out here swimming in the wrong direction
I shouldn't have ever been calling it love
(I'm still waiting)

   D#m7
Am I still giving off the wrong impression?
  F#maj7               G#
I shouldn't have ever dialled you up
    A#m                         D#m7
And I'm still lifting all your old expressions
  F#maj7                    G#         D#m7 F#maj7 G#
I shouldn't have ever been calling it love
A#m             D#m7   F#maj7          G#
I'm still waiting   (I'm still waiting)
