verse: (A) When I'm down, I make a call (E-E-A) (A) Got this number written on the wall (E-E-B) (B) First it's busy then I try again (F#-F#-B) (B) Who is she talking to? Could it be him? (E-E-A) (A) I dial her number and it starts to ring (E-E-A) (A) I get excited and I start to dream (E-E-B) (B) I start to fantasize on memory lane (G#-G#-C#) (C#) Then she answers and she says right away, she says, "I'm
prechorus:
