Mechanical Telephone chords by Janis Ian
Intro 1
Am
Verse 1
Am
Dark night,
G
Am
but there's plenty to believe in
Why'd you have to let her
Dm
Am
touch your feelings?
I always gave you everything
that you needed
All you had to do was ask,
Dm
F
Am
but you just got greedy
Dm
G
Now the only time we talk is
C
G
Am
when we talk alone
G
F
Em
E
To the voices that you leave on your
Em
Am
A
mechanical telephone
Dm
Sometimes I call just to hear
G
C
your voice set free
G
Am
the tongues and claws
F
But the memory I keep
E
doesn't really let me
Am
leave any word at all
Dm
Em
Am
C
Dm
F
violin solo
Am
You was like any woman
who was easy
Dm
Hope you've met your match
Am
But can she free me?
You always said I'd be the first to walk
Dm
You say I'm al ways the first to talk
Am
A
But can she free me?
Dm
G
Now we rarely talk alone
C
G
Am
We usually speak in groups
F
To the people you invite
E
For the theater and a bite
Am
A
Who are used to you
Dm
G
They like to listen to their own mouths move,
C
Bm
Am
they like to watch your jaw drop too
G
F
E
But the way the seasons fade when the covers are made,
Am
G
Em
Am
Dm
and I'm so far away
Am
Dm
F
Dm
Am
Mmmm
Bet you thought it'd be an easy thing
Dm
Bet you thought I lived alone
Am
Wonder for the vision and the after -play
Dm
D
Dm
F
I've had better times alone
G
Now and rarely talk of love
C
G
Am
We only speak of meat
G
F
And the sacrifice of life
E
To the altar and the knife
Am
On a mound of grief
Dm
G
Rarely caught just to hear your voice
C
G
Am
Set free in the pillars and stones
Em
C
F
But for the company
I keep when I speak
E
Am
To your mechanical telephone
Dm
F
Dm
It's the company I keep when I speak
E
Em
You're a mechanical telephone
C
Am
C
Dm
The company I keep
Em
E
Am
Dm
Am
Dm
you
