Tell me on the phone
F# minorF#m      B minorBm    E MajorE
You know where my heart's gone
   A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
Why I'm so withdrawn
B minorBm  E MajorE    A augmentedA   F# minorF#m

I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used
  A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7        D MajorD
I'm sorry but it's been weighing on me
A augmentedA     F# minorF#m    Dmaj7Dmaj7

I can't lie when I sing

🎸 Bridge:

G+G
Tried my best this time
       E minorEm
To keep your hand in mine
     A augmentedA
But it's written now
            D MajorD  Dmaj7Dmaj7
And I'm ripping out the page
    G+G
And you fantasize
   E minorEm
Of chasing lights
    A augmentedA
But you won't get far
            D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7
With half your heart at sea
        G+G
And New York's callin'
    E minorEm
For you darling
  A augmentedA
So pack your bags
          D MajorD  Dmaj7Dmaj7
Don't throw it all away
       G+G
You know I'm fallin
     E minorEm
From you darling
  A augmentedA
And I'm afraid
            D MajorD Dmaj   G+G E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7
There's no more room to stay to stay

                   G+G E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7
I'm afraid there's nothing left to say

D MajorD    Dmaj7Dmaj7     G+G
I still wait for you to call
     E minorEm                    A augmentedA
Though I told you that we shouldn't speak outside normal protocol
D MajorD       Dmaj7Dmaj7    Gmaj7Gmaj7
How could you give me your all?
E minorEm              A7A7
Why should you wait for me at all?

🎸 Chorus 2:

    D MajorD      Dmaj7Dmaj7     G+G
'Cause yesterday I wrote a little tune
D MajorD         Dmaj7Dmaj7      G+G
I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used
  D MajorD          Dmaj7Dmaj7    G+G
I'm sorry but it's been weighing on me
 D MajorD B minorBm        G+G
Oh
I can't lie when I sing
D MajorD    B minorBm   G+G
No
I can't lie
