Verses: C G F G7 C G F G

Pre Chorus and bridge: Am F C G (2x)

Chorus: F C G F C G7

Verse 1:
    C                            G 
I'm just trying to call you, to tell you not to call me,
        F                            G7
But it keeps going straight to the machine,
          C                          G 
Ooh I'm just trying to reach you to tell you I don't need you,
F                            G
Any less than you don't need me,

Pre Chorus:

Am 
But it just rings,
F
and it rings,
C                   G
and it rings some more.
       Am                F       C                   G                    
And memories of you and me, come crashing through my door,

Chorus:
F                   C                 G            
Let me tell you I'm leaving so I can cut this chord, or else
F                   C                 G7
My heart'll keep on beating forever more.

Verse 2:
C                             G 
I'm not looking to blame you, not looking to shame you,
F                             G7
Shame on me, it's my second time, ooh of,
C                G                        F                     G
Going too far, confusing the space with freedom but freedom's inside,


Am                    F          C           G
And so I sing, and I sing, and I sing some more,
Am                F       C                  G
A melody swallows me and lifts me from the floor,


F                   C                G
Let me tell you I'm leaving so I can cut this chord,
            F                 C              G7
Or else my heart'll keep on beating forever more.
            
Brigde:
  Am                       F
Oh, it takes time, I thought this was right,
                     C                G
I thought this was something we both liked,
                Am                      F
I would have stayed if you would have asked, but now,
      C                   G                         Am
The heartbreak songs are back, it's how I get over you.
            F               C           G
It's why I write, emotion boiling up inside,
                 Am            F         C           G
When it's this close I can't divide my heart and my mind.

C     G     F   G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [4x]
         C                         G   
So I'm just trying to call you to tell you not to call me,
F                                   G7
But it keeps going straight to the machine.
