E5                             C5                   G5           D5
When you wake with a start and your arms are asleep
                E5         C5                  D5
And she?s left in the night with her things
E5                         C5          G5                       D5
Will you think of the time we made time stand still
       E5          C5          D5
And cried, and lied, no regrets
?
C5                        D5            G-->E5 *
Hope you call me up before then
D5                                       E5
Before it?s all washed out to sea
C5                       D5         G-->E5 *
Before you wake up to a note on the door
C5                        D5            E5
Hope you call me up before then
C5                        D5             E5
Hope you call me up before then

              E5           C5                  G5                    D5
Now you finger your sleeve as the evening drones on
       E5       C5             D5
And notice a fly in your drink
       E5            C5      G5                     D5
You think of the time, forget what she said
       E5       C5          D5
And cry, and lie, and regret
?
C5                        D5            G-->E5 *
Hope you call me up before then
D5                                       E5
Before it?s all washed out to sea
C5                       D5                G----------------->E5 *
Before you wake up and your dreams are all gone
C5                        D5            E5
Hope you call me up before then
Hope you call me up before then
Hope you call me up before then
[End on E5 ]
