Smile When You Call Me That


C F G C You're gonna say I told you so C F G C I never should have let you go C F G C Ain't it funny that here we are F G C The two of us in two different bars C F G C In separate cages dancing slow C F G C We ain't got nobody to call our own C F G C You can always go back home F G C Well, you just might be there alone G I'm drunk and you're insane C I can't quit and you won't change D7 Ain't no halfhearted romeo G Why do you treat me so? F Like our love's a joke C It hurts too much to laugh G Can't you least smile C When you call me that C F G C Now, days are harder than you would believe C F G C I ain't having luck making ends meet C F G C If time were money then look at me F G C I'm richer than a poor man should be G Price of admission is much too steep C For broke uneducated clowns like me D7 It may be true I was the first to leave G But now I'm begging you please F My heart's on my sleeve C And I'm tipping my hat G Can't you at least smile C C7 When you call me that F Not much is certain but this much is true C My arms are useless if they don't have you F They hang around me with nothing to do G I'm hoping you and yours are lonesome too C F G C Neon's buzzing and here I am C F G C Last one standing, last call again C F G C While you're unfolding in a stranger's hands F G C I'll drink up and be somebody's man G Angels can walk I've seen it before C They turn handles and they open doors D7 They act like devils, now you've been warned G They'll vanish when love is war F I'm down on my knees C And you won't have me back G But can't you at least smile C When you call me that [repeat chorus]
