Intro
C D G Bm Em C D G
G Am
I tried to call you but the line was busy
D G
Were you talking to a friend
Em Am
And when I tried again much later
D G
I didn't want to let it ring again
G Am
So you can see I've got a problem
D G
Back by popular demand
Em Am
Sometimes I want to keep it from you
D G G - Bm - Em
Sometimes I think you'll understand
(CHORUS)
Em Am
Could you be my little movie star
D G G - Bm - Em
Could you be my long lost girl
Em Am
It's true that I don't really know you
D G
But I'm alone in the world
(Use chord progression from second verse)
When I think maybe I need you
I don't care if it's not true
'Cause it isn't so much what I need now
As what I want from you
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
Em Am D G
I feel alone...
Em Am D G
I feel alone...
-----------------------------------------
When doing the G - Bm - Em part it works best (for me anyway) to do the
G like a regular E but bar the third fret (I don't know if thats the
right way to describe it but the fingers are like so...)
