Blue October is an alternative rock band headquartered in San Marcos, Texas, but is originally from Houston, Texas. The band was formed in 1995 when two former high school friends Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals) and Ryan Delahoussaye (violin/viola, mandolin, keyboards, and vocals), set out to create an alternative rock band that has since gone on to have twelve Top 40 singles across nine studio albums and six albums reaching the Top 40 charts.
Current members of Blue October include Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals)

"Calling You" by Blue October From the album "History for Sale"
Notes: The basic framework for this song is C F Dm G, with the pre-choruses something like F Dm Am G. I saw Blue October live at Super Bash in Houston on 1/31/04, and they rocked. They played this song last, and I moshed like a freak. Comments are welcome at [email protected].
[Verse 1]
CFDmG There's something that I can't quite explain CFDmG I'm so in love with you - You'll never take that away CFDmG And if I said a hundred times before CFDmG expect a thousand more - You never take that away
[Pre-Chorus] G Well expect me to be F calling you to see Dm if you're ok when I'm not around Am asking if you love me G I love the way you make it sound F Calling you to see DmAm do I try too hard to make you smile G to make a smile
[Chorus] CF Well I will keep calling you to see Dm if you're sleepin' are you dreamin' and GC if you're dreamin' are you dreamin' of me FDmG I can't believe you actually picked...me
[Verse 2] CFDm I thought that the world had lost its sway G (it's so hard sometimes) CF then I fell in love with you (then came you) DmG and you took that away
(it's not so difficult, the world is not so difficult) CF you take away the old, show me the new DmG and I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you CF so what if I'm on this phone a hundred miles from home DmG I take the words you gave and send them back to you
[Pre-Chorus] G Well expect me to be F calling you to see Dm if you're ok when I'm not around Am asking if you love me G I love the way you make it sound F Calling you to see DmAm do I try too hard to make you smile G to make a smile
[Bridge] AmDmGC
[Chorus] CF Well I will keep calling you to see Dm if you're sleepin' are you dreamin' and GC if you're dreamin' are you dreamin' of me FDmG I can't believe you actually picked...me
[Chorus] CF Well I will keep calling you to see Dm if you're sleepin' are you dreamin' and GC if you're dreamin' are you dreamin' of me FDmG I can't believe you actually picked...me
