Biography:
Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

[intro]
Am F G C - G/B
I'm standing here freezing in a phone booth, baby
Am G F F
In the middle of god-knows-where
Am F G C - G/B
I've got one quarter left, your machine picks up
Am G F F
But baby I know you're there
Dm7 Dm7 C/G G
And I just start crying 'cause it makes no sense
Dm7 Dm7 C/G G Am F
To waste these words and twenty-five cents on a losing game
G C - G/B Am F G C
Ba - by, you win again
I've been turning it over and over again
Like a stone I'm waiting to wish on
I've been holding my breath, just wondering when
You'll make some sort of decision
To let me in or to let me go
I always lose if I never know where I fit in
Baby, you win again
Bb Bb Dm7 G
I can't be right if I'm always wrong
C F Am Gsus - G
I can't stand up if I'm always kneeling
Bb Bb Dm7 G
At your altar or at your throne

You could show just a little feeling for who I am

Last night I dreamed we were standing here
On the corner of Love and Heartache
You jumped into your car, you found first gear
And baby, I felt the earth shake
And I woke up trembling with my heart in my throat
'Cause there's never a look, a word, or a note at the bitter end
Baby, you win again
I can't be right if I'm always wrong
I can't stand up if I'm always kneeling
At your altar or at your throne
You could show just a little feeling for who I am
Baby, you win again

INTRO TAB:
Actually, this is played on an electric guitar with no capo (key of D),
but I've written it here in C with a capo at the 2nd fret.
