Verse:
F#
While I down Kentucky bourbon
B
I am waiting for a call
C#
And the moon and stars tonight
F#
Are playing shadows on the wall
F#
With the moon the way it is, dear
B
Would you answer out of spite
C# F#
Or are you feeling lonely tonight
F#
Cause I remember last time
B
We were out under the stars
C#
Driving crooked down the highway
F#
Drinking beer in roadside bars
F#
And now and then I wonder
B
Why this painful memory
C# F#
Can never find its way to you from me
Chorus:
F#
And I canʼt dial the phone just now
B
Even though I know your number
C# F#
Canʼt bring my broken heart to be untrue
F#
Like you did today
B
Youʼll say goodbye the same old way
C#
Ever since you hung up on me
F#
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.
