Intro: D G (4x)


   D             G             D               G
Oh why don't you call when you say you will my dear 
D               G               D     G
Is it because I don't belong to you 
    D             G             D               G
And why don't you come when you say you will my dear 
D             G                      D      G
Do you really think it will work out wrong

A Bm G A
A Bm G

          D      G           D      G
What if I leave?   What if I leave? 
          D      G           D      G
What if I leave?   What if I leave? 


D             G     D                     G
Why don't you call? Don't you miss me at all? 
D                 G                     D                      G
Left a long, long time ago to where the weather was better for his kind
D             G           D                   G
Why won't you play with a girl who loves your face?
D          G                    D          G
I may be a fool all along but I never understood these rules

A Bm G A
A Bm G

[Chorus]

A Bm G
A Bm G


D  (only drums...)
  So I grow up longing for another 
With the windy city left behind to my lover
D              G              D     G
 Will you ever know the way I cry 
         D                     G                      D    G
You were gone that day, so you may have missed my goodbye

A                 Bm                G
  Sometimes in my dreams I hear you say
A                Bm                 G
  "If you really care you won't go away"


[Chorus 2x]

Outro: D G D G (4x, fade out on 5th time...)
