       D   G  C  Am 
       D   G  C  Am 
Then: 
  C               Em 
 
F                                          C 
This here is the place where I will be staying 
      F 
There isn't a number, you can call the pay phone 
C                                 F 
Let it ring a long long long long time 
                             Am                    C            F           C 
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more,  Ohhhhhhh... 
   F                                        Am                             C 
If I don't pick up, pick up, the sidewinder sleep, sleep, sleeps in a coil 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
C    Em  {Play using above riff} 
Ohhhh..... 
                 F 
There are scratches all around the coin slot 
        C                                 F 
Like a heartbeat baby trying to wake up 
                          C 
But this machine can only swallow money 
                            F 
you can't lay a patch by computer design 
              Am                      C 
Just a lot of stupid, stupid signs 
F          C 
Tell her 
F                        C                                     F 
Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding. 
                               Am                             C 
That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me, me. 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
C    Em  {Play using above riff} 
Ohhhh..... 
 F 
Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me. 
     C                                                  F 
Today I need something more sub - s(tub) - sub - substantial. 
                                          C 
A can of beans or black-eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice 
    F                             Am                   C 
A Candy bar, a fallen star, or a reading from Doctor Suess 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am 
   Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her 
C    Em  {Play using above riff} 
Ohhhh.....

Bm                            Am 
The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way. 
Bm                                 Am 
 Always had a smile and a reason to pretend, 
          Bm                                    Am 
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep, but to dream 
C                 Em 
 The sidewinder sleeps on his back. 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am

D  D/F#   D  D/F#      G5           C9   G5                 Am 
   I can always sleep standing up.  Call me when you try to wake her 
C    Em  {Play using above riff} 
Ohhhh..... 
D  D/F# D           D/F#        G5      C9   G5                 Am
