Cm Ab
The rain won’t stop falling
Eb Bb
It’s harder than before
This car keeps on stalling
Pedal to the floor
Cm Ab Eb
What I need to know
Bb
Is if you love me
And I really need to know is
If you want me when you call
If you want me when you call
We were young
And we were foolish
Schoolbooks in our arms
Dodging homework
Dodging classes
To set off fire alarms
And what I need to know
Is if you love me
And I really need to know
If you need me when you call
If you want me when you call
We are waving our lives away
We are waving our lives away
What I need to know
Is if you love me
And I really need to know
If you need me when you call
What I need to know
Is if you love me
And I really need to know
If you need me when you call
If you want me when you call
