WHY SHOULD YOU COME WHEN I CALL  by CountingCrows

Tabbed by Nicolas Levy (acade365@hotmail.com)

i'd try to tune the guitar to the actual song. its in 447, not in 440 
to start, play along with diads and triads, the guitar is very sparse in a heavy mix.

Intro
G | D/F# | Em | D | C | D | G |[mostly GBD string voicings]


G                      C                  F          C
It`s one thirty in the morning and that`s alright by me
G           C              F
Weren`t you waiting by the phone?
G                      C        
I should give a little warning
         F              C
But I need the things I need
Bm                      Em    C                Am      D                
I`m not proud to need a hand, but I just don?t understand

CHORUS

G                 Bm          Em
So why should you come when I call?
   G                   C      Bm    C    D  
I never say nothing at all
G        Bm        Em
Why do I go when I go?
G                        C                  
It`s leaving me here all alone
        G               C         D
You ought to get out on your own

Ain't necessarily a bad thing
To believe the things I say
Cause you can make yourself feel good
You know it's really not a good thing
To give everything to me
I'm just waiting for the show
Cause I got no where to go

G                 Bm          Em
So why should you come when I call?
   G                   C      Bm    C    D  
I never say nothing at all
G        Bm        Em
Why do I go when I go?
G                        C                  
It`s leaving me here all alone
        G               C
You ought to get out on your own


Bridge:

F                C                G
   Cause nothing makes me feel so good
F         C
  Gets me high
     F        C
So I sleep at night
    Am                G           F
And lets me know that everythings alright
       D
I feel nice


I'm so sorry in the morning
Could believe what you believe
I'm used to waking up alone
And if you think about it
Anyone you think about is better love than me
              Bm         Em
But if you've not fallen quite 
       C               Am
asleep I might call tonight
          D
If that's alright...


G                 Bm          Em
So why should you come when I call?
   G                   C      Bm    C    D 
I never say nothing at all
G        Bm        Em
Why do I go when I go?
G                        C                  
It`s leaving me here all alone
        G               C       D
You ought to get out on your own
