G
While I down Kentucky bourbon
C
I am waiting for a call
D
And the moon and stars tonight
G
Are playing shadows on the wall
G
With the moon the way it is, dear
C
Would you answer out of spite
D G
Or are you feeling lonely tonight
G
Cause I remember last time
C
We were out under the stars
D
Driving crooked down the highway
G
Drinking beer in roadside bars
G
And now and then I wonder
C
Why this painful memory
D G
Can never find its way to you from me
CHORUS
G
And I can't dial the phone just now
C
Even though I know your number
D G
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
G
Like you did today
C
You'll say goodbye the same old way
D
Ever since you hung up on me
G
I'm hung up on you
Well the house I'm ringing up from
Is a half a mile from you
But with the reception I'm getting
Might as well be Timbuktu
And behind the door of your home
Is a strange and foreign land
Where you speak a language I don't understand
CHORUS
Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar
Like a thousand other times
With an appetite for poison
And a suitcase full of dimes
And I'll wait there by the payphone
With one hundred other guys
With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes
CHORUS
