Verse:

Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.

Information, Iʼm still here

Verse:
But Iʼm just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.
All I had to do was pick up the phone
Iʼm out in space, trying to talk to someone
D# Cm A# D# 
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.

Pre-Chorus:
She left a number I could call
But no oneʼs there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on.

Chorus:
Calling America (canʼt get a message through)
Calling America (thatʼs what she said to do)
Calling America (thatʼs where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America.

Verse:
Said sheʼd call when sheʼd been gone a while
Guess sheʼs missing me across the miles
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.

Chorus:
Calling America (canʼt get a message through)
Calling America (thatʼs what she said to do)
Calling America (thatʼs where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America.
Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America...
