Intro: G – A – Bm (4x)
Verse 1:
G A Bm
And so your girl is gone
G A Bm
Or is it just a rumor?
G A Bm
She knew it must be wrong
G A Bm
'Cause she'd been crying, crying far too long.
Verse 2:
G A Bm
I know the way she feels
G A Bm
Although I never knew her
G A Bm
While you're out having fun
G A Bm
Somebody's crying, crying all alone.
Pre-Chorus 1:
A G Bm
I spent so many nights at home feeling foolish
A Em (strum once & hold)
And I don't miss them at all.
Chorus:
G
But if you happen to call
D A G
And tell me it wasn't my fault
D A G
How all of this time you were wrong
D A C G
Would I even pick up the phone?
A G A Bm G A Bm
If you happen to call.
Verse 3:
G A Bm
And when my heart first broke
G A Bm
We were both in school then
G A Bm
And that was years ago
G A Bm
And you've been lying, lying for so long.
Verse 4:
G A Bm
And I've been lying too
G A Bm
To make myself feel better
G A Bm
And that I still need you
G A Bm
I'm done with crying, crying for someone.
Pre-Chorus 2:
A G Bm
I've been through half my life with you in the rearview
A Em
You still don't know me at all.
Chorus:
G
But if you happen to call
D A G
And tell me it wasn't my fault
D A G
How all of this time you were wrong
D A C G
Would I even pick up the phone?
A G A Bm G A Bm
If you happen to call.
Bridge:
Em G
But if you happen to call me, anytime you want me
D A
Doesn't mean you got me, I won't crawl
Em G
I'm so tired of hoping doors were gonna open
Bm A (hold for
2 measures)
Things would all be different if you happen to call
