Verse 1:
     C6/9      Am7          C6/9   Am7      Dm7         Em7 Dm7
If I call you
then I'm crazy
if I call you
     C6/9      Am7                 C6/9   Am7                        Dm7         Em7 Dm7
If I call you
you ain't gonna answer      If I was ever to just call you
        C6/9      Am7          C6/9     Am7            Dm7         Em7 Dm7
See, my problem       is I     want you     to know who I am
              C6/9      Am7          C6/9     Am7                Dm7         Em7 Dm7
But all that matters        is that I know         who the hell I am


Fmaj7                       Em7*                               Fmaj7                       Em7*
     I picture young Robert Frost, pen in hand, yelling at the postman. No letter has he received.
Fmaj7                        Em7*                            Fmaj7                               Em7*
     Even a 'no' would be al-right, even a 'sorry but not to-day'. A sign of life would bring re-lief.
        Dm7*                                                           Cmaj7
Even a 'thank you, but no thank you' 'Good bye' 'Take care' 'I already got one'
N.C.
I thought I heard you laugh once, no?

Chorus:
                            Dm7                C
I guess it must have been a ghost. I don't see no one
Dm7           Cmaj9   Bbmaj9  Am7   Fmaj7/G    Am7
   Every time I get   close   can't keep you a-round
N.C.                                        Dm7                      C
Thought I knew you, but it must have been a ghost 'cause I don't see no one
Em7*        Gbm7  Dm7      Cmaj9  Bbmaj9  Ebmaj9
Shame on my eyes, thinking you    were    real

Verse 2:
     C6/9    Am7           C6/9   Am7            Dm7         Em7 Dm7
Now today
all them horses      run a bit faster
C6/9    Am7         C6/9   Am7                            Dm7         Em7 Dm7
So I know         if you wanted      baby you could give me an answer
        C6/9    Am7       C6/9      Am7             Dm7         Em7 Dm7
See, my problem      is I want you      to know who I am
              C6/9     Am7          C6/9    Am7               Dm7         Em7 Dm7
When all that matters       is that I know       who the hell I am

Fmaj7                        Em7*                              Fmaj7                      Em7*
      I picture young Honest Abe, twiddling his thumbs for two weeks. No Letter has he re-ceived
Fmaj7                     Em7*                           Fmaj7                       Em7*
     Are you one of those people that would rather disap-pear  than show up and disa-gree?
           Dm7*                                                              Cmaj7
Give us a 'thank you, but no thank you', 'Good bye', 'Take care', 'I already got one'
N.C.
We cried together once, no?

                            Dm7                C
I guess it must have been a ghost. I don't see no one
Dm7.          Cmaj9   Bbmaj9  Am7   Fmaj7/G    Am7
   Every time I get   close   can't keep you a-round
N.C.                                        Dm7                      C
Thought I knew you, but it must have been a ghost 'cause I don't see no one

Shame on my eyes, thinking you    were    real

Shame on my eyes, thinking you    were    real
