"If You Come Back To Me / Outro"

E
You were right all along.
C#m                                     A
You know I hate that, admitting I was wrong.
             F#m                        E
So I don't answer the phone when it's you.
                  C#m             A
It's funny when I see the caller I.D.
                                      B
Shows the phone line's still in your dad's name.


    E              B
So hey, I'm doing OK.
              C#m                             A
And I'll get back to you if you come back to me.


E
Your voice is so Marilyn Monroe.
C#m                                            A
It's funny how that makes me wanna smash the phone.
            F#m
I wonder if J.F.K. ever felt this way.
E
All alone, like Summer when it snows.
C#m                                     A
So out of place, so out of those fake smiles.
          B
I used to do so well.


      E
And here's the part of the song
                 C#m
Where I start to break down like my broken heart.
         A
But it's not gonna matter
                              B
The lines are all down from a hurricane

They should have named after you.
C#m                  E
Maybe I should get a Scorpions ringtone
A
To remind me of you.

[CHORUS]
    E              B
So hey, I'm doing OK.
              C#m                             A
And I'll get back to you if you come back to me.
E           B
Oh, here we go.
            C#m
Just like a broken record skippin' apart
        A
That we both oughta know by heart.

([2nd time:]
And I can still hear you singing along)
E
We were right there,
And now it seems so tragic.
C#m
No happy ending,
Now this whole thing seems so drastic.
A
You asked me 20 times
Where we could find our magic.
B
Ask David Copperfield or even Rick O'Casic.
E
David Blaine,(where's the magic?)
C#m
Lance Burton, (where's the magic?)
A
Harry Potter,(where's the magic?)
B
I used to think pop rocks were magic.
E
Sigfried and Roy, (where's the magic?)
C#m
Shaquille O'Neal,
(why'd you leave the magic?)
A
You asked me 20 times,

Or was it 28,
          B
And your greatest trick ever

Was your great escape.

[CHORUS]
    E              B
So hey, I'm doing OK.
              C#m                             A
And I'll get back to you if you come back to me.
E           B
Oh, here we go.
            C#m
Just like a broken record skippin' apart
        A
That we both oughta know by heart.
            F#m
(and I can still hear you singing along...yeah)
