Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Verse:
C# G#
Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
A#m F#
Across the water on a seven-fortyseven
C# A#m G# C# A#m G#
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.
C# G#
And pretty soon sheʼs really got the notion
A#m F#
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
C# A#m G# C# C# A#m F# G#
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.

Pre-Chorus:
F A#m
Talk is cheap on satellite
F# D#m B
But all I get is static
F A#m F A#m
Information, Iʼm still here
F# G#
Re-dial on automatic.

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

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
C# A#m G# C# 
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...
