Take My Call

A B C#m B A C#m B E E C#m B E It’s obvious I never had a map C#m B Just a drawing on the back of A C#m a placemat From a late night B E A restaurant in coffee and crayon C#m B I scribbled out my childish E plans of attack C#m B I swear I never meant E C#m to get so lost Or drag B you through this rotten E C#m twisted plot In which all B my best intentions too E A predictable to mention C#m Misfired and steered us B E E straight onto the rocks E C#m Sometimes it’s easier to say A C#m that it was just one big mistake A C#m Not the gestalt of many small ones A B All my fault and I can call them C#m B C#m E all by name And the highest C#m A hope for tragedy Is a lesson and a E C#m A song So I dismantled carefully B C#m B C#m the ways I did you wrong E B If you ever decide C#m B C#m to take my call E I would gladly B C#m B C#m surrender it all C#m My sleeping mind pulls out B E a dream that I waylaid C#m To see the floats the day B E after the Rose Parade C#m Smell the flowers share B E a coffee as we walk A Alarm goes off! And C#m B I awake alone in E the bed I’ve made E C#m Because it’s easier to say A C#m that it was just one big mistake A C#m Not the gestalt of many small ones A B All my fault and I can call them C#m B C#m E all by name And the highest C#m A hope for tragedy Is a lesson and a E C#m A song So I dismantled carefully B C#m B C#m the ways I did you wrong E B If you ever decide C#m B C#m to take my call E I would gladly B C#m B C#m surrender it all A C#m Leave a little piece of me (leave a little piece) A C#m Outside beneath the loquat B trees (in your backyard) A C#m B Where I can stay and grow A Am and love you (and love you) E B If you ever decide C#m to take my call E I would gladly F#m C#m surrender it all Chorus 4/Outro E B If you ever decide C#m B C#m to take my call E I would gladly B C#m B A surrender it all E B If you ever decide E E to take my call
