uptempo early rock 8-to-bar groove male vocal
                                                               D for me

         You keep       telling me we're all over now,        1   1
     and I   keep       telling you we're gonna work it out,  5  (4  1)
but your taillights are telling me it's different this time,  1  (47 1)
and what really drives it home is  silence on the line.       5  (47) 1
CHORUS:
    Silence on the line  when I try to call:             4   1
  a voicemail message or nothing at all.                 5  (47 1)
I'm sure it's your number so I keep on trying            4   1
but all I get is silence on the line.                   (5 47) 1  1

Your sister  is    telling me you found a place to stay       1   1
Your brother keeps telling me I better stay away.             5  (4 1)
Your mother's sympathetic but she's loyal to you.             1  (47 1)
Just talk to me and tell me baby what I gotta do  to stop     5  (47) 1
CHORUS

        A friend of a buddy said he thought he saw your car   1   1
   at the red brick apartments out along the reservoir.       5  (4  1)
There's a buzzer with your former last name, not mine,        1  (47 1)
        I buzz it but there's only silence on the line.       5  (47) 1
ALT CHORUS:
    Silence on the line  when I try to call:             4   1
    Nothing but the echo of your buzzer down the hall.   5  (47 1)
I'm sure it's your number so I keep on trying            4   1
but all I get is   silence on the line.                 (5 47) 1

[BREAKDOWN:]
         You keep       saying it's all over now.           . 1   1
         I   keep       saying we're gonna work it out.       5   1
    Your taillights     tell me it's different this time,     1  (47 1)
and what really drives it home is ...                         5   5   5   5
CHORUS
