You got me on the third call I wasn't gonna answer at all

But I guessed it was you so it didn't ring true
A D
Hmm
[Verso 2]
Em
You know I was curious and kinda nervous too
Em
It was quiet at first then you said a few words
A D
Something I heard in the breath of your voice
And then I had no choice
[Verso 3]
Em
Girl right away I knew as I soaked up the essence of you
Em A
Should have been impossible but there it was a full
D
And total surrender
[Verso 4]

I lost my mind again how easily you muddy my brain
Em
You know what they say it's never the same

Remind myself of one little thing

So you got me on the third call we know it's purely physical
Em
There's no time for subtle it's all sweat and muscle
A D
We'll be together forever and oh well
[Verso 6]
Em
Then we go our own ways not so much as a parting wave
Em
Our love is on hold until the next call
A D
Forget the first two because just like you

I don't have much to talk about
A D
All we do is scream and shout
Em G F# F Em G F# F Em
All we do is scream and shout
