Verse: G While I down Kentucky bourbon C I am waiting for a call D And the moon and stars tonight G Are playing shadows on the wall G With the moon the way it is, dear C Would you answer out of spite D G Or are you feeling lonely tonight G Cause I remember last time C We were out under the stars D Driving crooked down the highway G Drinking beer in roadside bars G And now and then I wonder C Why this painful memory D G Can never find its way to you from me Chorus: G And I canʼt dial the phone just now C Even though I know your number D G Canʼt bring my broken heart to be untrue G Like you did today C Youʼll say goodbye the same old way D Ever since you hung up on me G Iʼm hung up on you Verse: Well the house Iʼm ringing up from Is a half a mile from you But with the reception Iʼm getting Might as well be Timbuktu And behind the door of your home Is a strange and foreign land Where you speak a language I donʼt understand Chorus. Verse: Now Iʼm going down to Jimmyʼs bar Like a thousand other times With an appetite for poison And a suitcase full of dimes And Iʼll wait there by the payphone With one hundred other guys With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes Chorus.
