Call Me

View chords used in this chart
Bm F#m
Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
G D
Send me on my way still smiling
G Bm
Maybe that's the way I should go,
G F#m
Straight into the mouth of the unknown
D A
I left the spare key on the table
Bm F#m
Never really thought I'd be able
G D
To say I merely visit on the weekends
G Bm (C)
I lost my whole life and a dear friend
 
(pre-Chorus)
C Em
I've said it so many times
G D
I would change my ways - No, never mind
C Em
God knows I've tried
 
(Chorus)
G D
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
C Em D
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
G D
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
C Em D
Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt
C D Em
It's all that I can say.
C D C
So, I'll be on my way
 
D F#m
I finally put it all together,
G D
But nothing really lasts forever
G Bm
I had to make a choice that was not mine,
G F#m
I had to say goodbye for the last time
D A
I kept my whole life in a suitcase,
Bm F#m
Never really stayed in one place
G D
Maybe that's the way it should be,
G Bm (C)
You know I've led my life like a gypsy
 
(repeat pre-Chorus e Chorus)
