[C]I've been [F]telling lines
[D]I never knew
[G]All to [C]keep that girl
[F]Away from you
[D]But she may [G]call you up tonight
[C]Then what [F]could I say
[C]That would [F]sound right
[C]Thoughts that [F]raised my mind
[D]Just pushed aside
[G]All the [C]chances there
[F]That we [D]once had
[G]But she may [C]call you up tonight
[F]Then what [C]could I say
[F]That would [C]sound right
[G]And when [Bb]I'm crying
[C]Yes I know [Bb]my mind is flying
[G]To a place [Bb]where there's no trying
[C]But she may [G]call you up tonight
[C]I've been [F]telling lines
[D]I never knew
