[Verse]
C G
I'm old enough to remember love letters
Em D
That's what we wrote before emails and text messages
C G
I'd spend ages on pages of love lines I'd never use
Em D
If you wrote me one back, the paper it'd smell just like you
[Chorus]
C G
Now if you want me, you can call me
Em D
And I can just answer the line
C G
But if you're getting no reception
Em D
Then maybe let's go back in time
C G
And I'll meet you in the moonlight
Em D
I'll sneak out to the end of your street
C G
And I'll kiss you, like the old times
Em D
Back in the place we would meet
[Verse 2]
C G
If we wanted to talk, then I'd have to call your home
Em D
And your mum, she would answer, and ask me, "How did school go?"
C
And then you'd grab the phone
G
And we'd talk for hours until
Em D
Your dad would come home and ask who was paying the bill
[Chorus]
C G
Now if you want me, you can call me
Em D
Because Now If Got My Own line
C G
But if you're getting no reception
Em D
Then maybe let's go back in time
C G
And I'll meet you in the moonlight
Em D
I'll sneak out to the end of your street
C G
And I'll kiss you, like the old times
Em D
Back in the place we would meet
C G
And I'll kiss you, like the old times
Em D
Back in the place we would meet
[Post-Chorus]
C G Em D
Ninety-five, when nobody had a phone
C G
What a time to be alive
Em D
I can't believe how it's flown
[Bridge]
C
We grew up We moved on
G
How did life get so busy?
Em D
And you've got that big job and a dog and a house in the city
C G
We weren't in touch, but I often thought about you
Em D
And I Couldn't Stop crying The Night I Read The News
[Chorus]
C G
If you want me, you can call me
Em D
Nobody's Calling The Line
C G
No Reception In Heaven
Em D
Then Maybe We Go Back In Time
C G
And I'll meet you in moonlight
Em D
I'll sneak out to the end of your street
C G
And I'll kiss you, like the old times
Em D
Back in the place we would meet
C G
And I'll kiss you, like the old times
Em D
Back in the place We Would Meet
