[Intro]
C5 , Cb5 , C5 , G5

[Verse 1]
C5                       A5
You and I were meant to be
( A5 )                       G5
Even though you don't know me
( G5 )                     F5
I don't even know your name
( F5 )                            E5   E5
And do you think that you know mine?
C5                       A5
You were lonely, I was bored
( A5 )                          F5
I may be more than you can afford
( F5 )                          E5   E5
But I'm sure we'll meet halfway

[Pre-Chorus]
    G5    G5             F5
And I've got this crazy feeling
                      A5   G5   D5  D5
you've been trying to get  to  me
     F5
When all you have to do is calmly

[Chorus]
C5       Cb5  C5        G5
Call me        call me

[Verse 2]
Basic service: sixty bucks
I'll roll the dice, you try your luck
A pair gets me a week in rent
And a straight gets even more
I'm no good at playing cards
I hold my dates in high regard
Pay up front and ye shall receive

[Bridge]
              G5
Love is never in-between
            C5
if it isn't one thing, then
                       A5
it's always something else
F5                 G5
I don't even know what I mean
                      C5
I thought that it was nothing, but now I
                   F5
can't find nothing else
A5  G5                D5  D5  F5
Oh,    you can't hide
       G5
But at least you tried to

[Chorus]
Call me, call me, call me

[Coda]
Are you ashamed of what you've done?
All we did was have some fun
I won't judge and I won't tell
And I'll forget you when you've gone
I pity all you working stiffs,
Living wondering "what if?"
"What if someday I was free?"

[Chorus]
Call me, call me

[Coda]
C5 , Cb5 , C5 , G5 , C5 (x2)

[End on C]
