G 
While I down Kentucky bourbon
     C
I am waiting for a call
        D
And the moon and stars tonight
            G
Are playing shadows on the wall

         G
With the moon the way it is, dear
          C
Would you answer out of spite
   D                        G       
Or are you feeling lonely tonight

      G
Cause I remember last time
        C
We were out under the stars
        D
Driving crooked down the highway
         G
Drinking beer in roadside bars

    G
And now and then I wonder
         C
Why this painful memory
    D                              G
Can never find its way to you from me


CHORUS

G
And I can't dial the phone just now
     C
Even though I know your number
      D                           G
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
G
Like you did today
           C
You'll say goodbye the same old way
D
Ever since you hung up on me
               G
I'm hung up on you

Well the house I'm ringing up from
Is a half a mile from you
But with the reception I'm getting
Might as well be Timbuktu

And behind the door of your home
Is a strange and foreign land
Where you speak a language I don't understand

CHORUS

Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar
Like a thousand other times
With an appetite for poison
And a suitcase full of dimes

And I'll wait there by the payphone
With one hundred other guys
With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes
