           Am                     E7
Everybody says you're a lot like me
       F               C
But I don't know if I feel the same way
              Am                  E7
You're not a jailer, but I'm not free
         F                       C
I still hang on every word that you say

                    Am              E
I don't know what's you and what is me
                      F
We're points along a line, but I don't see
  C
a boundary
       F                         C
We are all punched out from the same old cast
        F                    E              Am
And we are all vessels, and we contain the past

So I stick around for the spring you see
But then summer comes, I go free-ranging
You can still be you, I can try to be me
Is it me or just the world that's changing?

My money's on you, I have no doubt
Of all the things we worship, we are the most devout
When we kneel at the altar of ourselves
But today I would give my ragged self away

Chorus:
                F
When you gonna call me?
               Dm
When you gonna want me?
                   Am
I'm waiting like a coiled spring
              G
For the telephone to ring
               Am
Far away, you call me

Am
I've got a song to sing, I've got words I can borrow
It really doesn't matter if it's raining tomorrow
Dm
I've got a song to sing, I've got pain,
I've got sorrow
    F                                 G
It really doesn't matter what I say, do you follow?

I've got a song to sing, I've got words I can borrow
It really doesn't matter if it's raining tomorrow
(Really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter, no)
I've got a song to sing, I've got pain,
I've got sorrow
It really doesn't matter what I say, do you follow?

F
(Too-loo-too too-too)
(Too-loo-too too-too)
Am
(Too-loo-too too-loolooo)
G
(Too-loo-too too-loolooo)

Chorus:
When you gonna call me?
When you gonna want me?
I'm waiting like a coiled spring
For the telephone to ring
When you gonna call me?
When you gonna want me?
I'm waiting like a coiled spring
For the telephone to ring
