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

Em x2 (two more bars of Em on its own)
 
Hmmm, hmmm (verse)
Em C D G

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