Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
D 
I thought I had your number
- there must be some mistake
I dialed six - three - seven
G 
- eleven - eighty eight
D 
I got some geezer; said his
girlfriend's on the town
I said, "I've got the wrong number,"
G 
and I slammed the phone down
Thought about it for a minute
C 
'til the anger went away
G 
D 
I figure every dog in town
G 
D 
is gonna have his day
G 
Well, I  could count the teardrops,
C 
G 
or I could wonder why
D 
Well I used to be your lover - now
G 
D 
G 
I don't even try
D 
It was champagne parties
and sweet love sins
Now it's warm beer at midnight
G 
and girlie magazines
D 
I stack the empty cans up like
a freshman in school
It's the kind of thing you're into
G 
when you ain't nobody's fool
Got my socks in the oven,
C 
something's growing in the sink
G 
D 
I can't begin to face the day
G 
D 
without a couple of drinks
G 
Ain't had a decent meal
C 
G 
since you made me cry
D 
Well I used to be your lover - now
I don't even try

Memories, take a look at what
A 
you've done to me

It's gettin' so all I do is watch TV
C 
Am 
A 
Can't even prove that I'm alive
D

I dialed six-three-seven-one-one-eight-eight
G 
D 
I I I I  I I I got some geezer; said

G 
D 
and I slammed the phone down
G 
But I know the number's right
C 
G 
and you're his girl
D 
Though I wouldn't want to face it
G 
D 
for the whole wide world
G 
Don't come back baby,
C 
G 
I think I'm gonna die
D

G 
now I don't even try
