Intro:

Am  Gm

Verse:

F(bar)                   F
Big brown eyes and a gust of wind
Gm                           Gm
And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says The end
F                             F
Is coming soon but not soon enough
Gm                                Gm
Restring all your guitars Pack up all your stuff

          Bb       Am       Gm
Cause if Robert's dad is right
          Bb       Am       Gm
We might not make it through the night
          Bb       Am       Gm
And I'd hate to go alone
Gm
Please pick up the phone

Pre-Chorus:

C Bb Am Gm

Verse II

F                            F
Well a box of red and a pill or three
Gm                              Gm
And I'm calling time and temperature just for some company
F                               F
I wish you were here I wish I was too
Gm                                 Gm
I'll drink myself to sleeplessness I always do

          Bb   Am      Gm
You don't want me anymore
          Bb   Am      Gm
Since fame and fortune broke down our door
          Bb   Am      Gm
You don't give me no respect
             Gm
What did I expect

C Bb Am Gm

F                   Gm            Bb      C
If that phone don't ring one more time
F                   Gm            Bb      C
I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind
F                   Gm            Bb      C
You made a big impression for a girl of your size

Verse III

F                              F
Her hands are cold her breath is warm
Gm                        Gm
She's a port in a storm
F                           F
I'm worried now but it won't be long
Gm                                   Gm
It takes a worried man you know to sing a worried song
          Bb   Am      Gm
I've got issues yeah
          Bb   Am      Gm
Like I miss you yeah

Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes
