 D#
Next to your chest like a locket
  A#
I own my brain in your pocket
       Cm
You've got it in your hand everywhere you go
     G#
Up close to your mouth when your voice is low

You freak out if I ever get busted
Buy another me no matter what the cost is
We're inseparable, disconnectable
Without me you never go too far

Chorus:
D#                    A#
I just wanna be your telephone
Keep me on
Cm
24/7 365 days
  G#
Think about all the time we could waste
D#                    A#
I just wanna be your telephone never let me go
Cm
I know every dirty secret that you keep
 G#
Crazy as shit that no-one sees

Never would have to be jealous
When you're talking to all of those fellas
Cause I'm the only one that's ever gonna be
So well acquainted with your anatomy
Like a shoulder to cry on
I'm the one thing you rely on
It's like a drug
I'm so in love
Never let anyone break us up

Chorus

    Fm
So here comes the comma,
  A#
Guess a better summer

Cos you love that toy
 A#
More than this boy

I love it when you use me all night long

Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me all night long
          D#
Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me all night long

I love it when you use me, use me

All night long)
I just wanna be your telephone oo oo
(Charge me up, turn me on
I love it when you use me
All night long)
Charge me up, turn me on
I love it when you use me all night long
