[Verse 1]
C F
When we first met, I finished my first set
Bb
You were in the club while I spun 'till the floor split
C F
Attached at the hips, dancin' 'till the sunrise
Bb
never catching sleep, always talked, really fun times
C F
I never had a friend like you before
Bb
We could chat about music and who we're routin' for
C F
you were too supportive, callin' me two in the mornin',
Bb
askin' how my show was, makin' me feel important
C F
I'm forever in your debt,
Bb
love to watch you play the cello, never see you sweat
C F
See you cool as an ice cube, playin' the right tunes
Bb
make the strings sing while the orchestra's behind you
C F
but why, when you got the big gig
Bb
everyday you had to practice, everyday you did
C F
so every single second of your day,
Bb
you were occupied, no time, even if you tried;
[Chorus]
G# Bb C
Yeah, Octavia, won't you tell me why
G# Bb C
you are leaving me on hold, oh no
G# Bb C
Yeah, Octavia, with the time gone by,
G# Bb C
when did you become so cold
G# Bb C
cuz the silence between us, just ain't right
G# Bb C
has what we once had grown old, no
G# Bb C
Yeah, Octavia better answer me,
G# Bb C
cuz I won't let you leave me, leave me, on hold
G# Bb C
G# Bb F
[Verse 2]
G# Bb C
It's been a couple o' weeks, I ain't got not but a peep
and I shouldn't believe that I'm starting to freak
G# Bb F
but serious Tavi, like are you mad at me?
Did I do something bad, or maybe I got snappy?
G# Bb
I try to tell myself that "I don't even wanna hang" and
C
"I could find a million others like you on the friendship train."
G# Bb
I got fans like the ocean's got water
F
my friends scratch their heads and ask "...why bother?"
G# Bb C
But your more than a fan and your more than a friend
maybe more than I can stand, this pain should end.
G# Bb
Insane and intense this ain't friendship.
F
It sits somewhere between "soulmate" and "kinship"
[Bridge]
C
my mind keeps racin' and I cant keep the pace, just
G# Bb
Tell me why!
C
Just tell me why!
G# Bb F C Bb
Just tell me why-y!
C
Won't you tell me why...?
G# Bb F
[Verse 3]
C
...Tell me why my heart skips when the phone rings
Bb F
it's not you, my heart sinks...
C
these are things that I'm parsing,
Bb
all this doubt can lead a heart to harden,
F
my soul-searchin' is startin' to darken.
C
These good intentions are leavin' us in tension
Bb F
they tend to test every single dimension
C Bb
But now I'm diggin' on it Tavi and I think I want it
F
I link connections in my heart and I'm writtin' a sonnet.
C Bb
You're poetry in motion, my spirit's written on it
F
You know me and my notions, I'm here to flaunt it
C
So hear me out through these worries and doubts!
Bb F
I veer to the clouds 'till it's clear, and I'll shout it!
C Bb
I'm glowin' and growin' emboldened
F
You got me on hold but the only thing I wanna hold on...
G# Bb C
Is yo-u
G# Bb F
yo-o-u
[Chorus]
G# Bb C
Yeah, Octavia, won't you tell me why
G# Bb F
you are leaving me on hold, oh no
G# Bb C
Yeah, Octavia, with the time gone by,
G# Bb F
when did you become so cold
G# Bb C
Cuz the silence between us, just ain't right!
G# Bb F

G# Bb C
Yeah, Octavia better answer me,
G# Bb F
Cuz I won't let you... I won't let you leave...
[Outro]
G# Bb F
(I won't let you le-ave me-e) On hold... (Hold on...)
G# Bb F
(I won't let you le-ave me-e) On hold... (Hold on...)
