F#
Only call me when you need someone to talk to
F#maj7
Only phone me when your baby doesn't call you
B
Never answer, less you're feelin lonely.
G#m                          C#
Phone only rings when she's driving you crazy
F#
Only call me when you're in distress
F#maj7
Your heart in two and your life's a mess

B
I would call you every hour every day
G#m
If you give me your heart
        C#
if you call me baby

Chorus:
B
Said you'll call me everyday,
F#                 C#
we both know… You won't
                B
You said you'd keep me from all harm,
        F#          C#
though you hurt me most
               B
I know, I know I shouldn't stay,
        F#
but the way you say,
C#              B
Way you say my name
I think you've changed,
      F#                 C#
When you're exactly the same,
exactly the same
B
Two steps forward
          G#m
One step back
B
Two steps forward
          C#
One step back

Only call me when you're feeling blue
And I've been the same way since I fell for you
Never call unless you need somebody
And I'll always need you more
than you could need me
Wish you'd hold me 'stead of putting me on hold
When we talk on the telephone
And I would call you every hour, every day
If you'd give me your heart
If you'd call me baby

Chorus - x2
