Capo na terceira casa 
F5  
Big brown eyes, and a gust of wind,  
                C5  
And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says "The end  
                 F5  
Is coming soon," but not soon enough.  
C5 
Restring all your guitars, pack up all your stuff.  
          Bb5       Bb5 A5   Bb5 G5  
'Cause if Robert's dad is right,  
             Bb5      Bb5 A5        Bb5 G5  
We might not make it through the night,  
        Bb5      Bb5 A5 Bb5 G5  
And I'd hate to go alone.  
 C5          C5 Bb5   C5 A5    C5 G5  
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?  
F5                    G5            Bb5   C5  
If that phone don't ring one more time,  
     F5                 G5          Bb5  C5  
I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind.  
     F5            G5            Bb5           C5  
You made a big impression for a girl of your size,  
F5               G5         Bb5           C5          F5   G5   Bb5   C5  
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.

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.
