Capo na terceira casa 
F  
Big brown eyes, and a gust of wind,  
                C  
And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says "The end  
                 F  
Is coming soon," but not soon enough.  
C 
Restring all your guitars, pack up all your stuff.  
          Bb       Bb A   Bb G  
'Cause if Robert's dad is right,  
             Bb      Bb A        Bb G  
We might not make it through the night,  
        Bb      Bb A Bb G  
And I'd hate to go alone.  
 C          C Bb   C A    C G  
Please pick up the phone.  
   
Well a box of red, and a pill or three,  

And I'm calling time and temperature just for some company.  

I wish you were here. I wish I was too.  

I'll drink myself to sleeplessness, I always do.  
   
You don't want me anymore,  

Since fame and fortune broke down our door.  

You don't give me no respect.  

What did I expect?  
F                    Gm            Bb   C  
If that phone don't ring one more time,  
     F                 Gm          Bb  C  
I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind.  
     F            Gm            Bb           C  
You made a big impression for a girl of your size,  
F               Gm         Bb           C          F   Gm   Bb   C  
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes. 
 
Bridge solo-
    Gm         Bb         F         C          repeat   
end on Gm Go back to F and C for verse  
   
Her hands are cold, her breath is warm ,  
She's a port in a storm.  
I'm worried now, but it won't be long.  
It takes a worried man, you know, to sing a worried song.  
   
I've got issues, yeah.  
Like I miss you, yeah.  
And I wish I weren't so thick.  
I'm making myself sick.  
   
If that phone don't ring one more time,  
I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind.  
You made a big impression for a girl of your size,  
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.
