Verse:
F
While I down Kentucky bourbon
A#
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
A#
Would you answer out of spite
C F
Or are you feeling lonely tonight
F
Cause I remember last time
A#
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
A#
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
A#
Even though I know your number
C F
Canʼt bring my broken heart to be untrue
F
Like you did today
A#
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.
