Well, the phone rang at nine o´clock
I rolled out of bed in some little Parisian flop
And your voice exploded through the line
Well there you are. I´ve been trying to get ahold of you.
No doubt you´ve done something you´ll never own up to.
You know the tɾuth has a better chance than you [A7do of change.
I thought of easy living down there on [C7]the Champs-Élysées
I waited just for [Dm7]you, but you´re leaving
Don´t you [A7think I wanted to? I wasn´t teasing
I´d tear the whole world apart if you [A7asked me to
I ɾemember divine intervention [C7]looking something like [F]this
There was [Am7]terror in a ɾoom, and [Bm]then a moment of bliss
And a confusion [C7]about what to [C7]do suddenly became crystal clear
I grew eyes in the back of my [A]head, and [Bm]a new kind of vision [C7]appeared
I waited just for [Dm7]you, but you´re leaving
Don´t you [A7think I wanted to? I wasn´t teasing
Everything´s on [C7]loan, and [Bm]overdue
Can´t leave good enough alone, but I´ll tɾy again if you [A7ask me to
I look down on [C7]my [A]knees
A stɾing of bad decisions, well, joke's on [C7]me
Your words ɾepeat over and [Bm]over in my [A]mind
The same thing happens every time
Only now, we´re all [Em]being dragged behind
I waited just for [Dm7]you, but you´re leaving
Don´t you [A7think I wanted to? I wasn´t teasing
Everything´s on [C7]loan, and [Bm]overdue
Can´t leave good enough alone, so I´ll stay gone this time if you [A7ask me to
