[Intro]
C G N.C.
[Verse 1]
C N.C.
the phone and I are tired but I'm dying to speak
N.C.
and its simple charge in life is just to drain and repeat
G N.C.
to rest inside some cradle and be rocked back to sleep
N.C.
and I'll wake you when I feel like we have the energy
Am N.C.
but an empty cell is prison and I'm left here to be
Em N.C.
to try to and paint myself a picture when I need some relief
F N.C.
a strong assertion of the truth would be a welcome retreat
G N.C.
from the front line of a verse or chorus this week
[Chorus]
C N.C.
and so I wrote another note
G
whispered words not meant for telephones
C
and so I wrote another note
G
whispered words not meant for telephones Oh whoa
[Verse 2]
C N.C.
you call me on my birthday when my friends have all gone
C N.C.
if you ask me how it's been I'd say it's been too long
G N.C.
but somewhere after twelve I realize it won't come
G N.C.
and the words will fall around you like you're some kind of sun
Am N.C.
I know I'm supposed to pre-tend that I care how it feels
Em N.C.
and how you felt when you're with him and how you thought it was real
F N.C.
last call for me was torture, I should have quit while ahead
G N.C.
but the bars are never ending
G N.C.
there's nothing in your voice to suggest
Am N.C.
we're still friends
[Chorus]
Am C N.C.
and so I wrote another note
C N.C. G
whispered words not meant for telephones Oh
C
and so I wrote another note
G
whispered words not meant for telephones
[Chorus]
C
and so I wrote another note
G
whispered words not meant for telephones
C
and so I wrote another note
G
you whispered words not meant for telephones no no
[Chorus]
C
and so I wrote another note
G
you whispered words not meant for telephones
C
and so I wrote another note
G
you whispered words not meant for telephones
[Chorus]
C
and so I wrote another note
G
whispered words not meant for tele--phones ooh yeah
[Bridge]
C
oh baby don't you know I've been missing you?
C
And it's been too long,
G
too, too long for me to say I love you but I do
G
but I just can'tbring myself to say it again
C
why don' you pick up a piece of paper and a pen, or pencil,
C
or crayon, or whatever you got near you girl
G
and let me know you care
C
'Cause I'm sick and tired of talkin' to ya
C
I am sick and tired of talking
G
but there's more to this than just you and me there's more to it
G
but all that other stuff you're never ever gonna see
C
This is where I leave you my friend
C
this is where I leave you
G
cause I am tired of screwing around (screwing around)
