B                     C#m       G#m
I try to call but you don't pick up
     E                       B   F#
So I order a cab cause I've had enough
 B                        C#m     G#m
You think you're making a fool of me
           E                        B      F#
There's a look on your face that I have to see

G#m                     F#
Is there something I'm missing?
E                           B
Something you're trying to hide
G#m                 F#
I'm so tired of suspicions
E
Tired of wondering why

Chorus:
     B
You turn on the lights
Open the door
  F#
Behind you I see
Clothes on the floor
    E
So tell me before I go
Is there something I need to know?
     B
I'm not gonna lie
I knew all along
     F#
But this is your chance
To just prove me wrong
    E
So tell me before I go
Is there something I need to know?

You say it's too late to come inside
And I hope that you've worked on your alibi
You say I'm drunk and I'm paranoid
But I can tell by your eyes
and the tone of your voice

That there's something I'm missing
Something you're trying to hide
I'm so tired of suspicions
Tired of wondering why

Chorus

               G#m
Why didn't you call me right back?
               F#
Why didn't you call me right back?
              E
We needed to talk
We needed to talk
               G#m
Why didn't you call me right back?
              F#
Why did you treat me like that?
              E
We needed to talk
Yeah, we needed to talk
B
Oooh
F#
Oooh
          E
Is there something I need to know?
Is there something I need to know?

Chorus
