BDA K:
Hello
A7
  Did I disturb you
D
 I didn't mean to take up too much of your time but
D7
  Just thought I'd give you a ring and see how you was doing

Gmaj7   A7                     D
       How's, how's everything
                                         D7
A friend of mine told me he saw you the other day

                           Gmaj7
Said you was still looking good
      A7                                 D
Heh, made me feel kind of good, you know
        D7
Told me, told me that you did ask about me

Gmaj7
Heh
A7                                                D
  I been really meaning to try to get to talk to you

For now but
                D7
You know how a man's pride is

Sometimes it kind of won't let him do what he wanna do

  D
(Miss you, miss you)

I miss you, baby

(Miss you, miss you, miss you)
                  D7
I miss you, baby, I don't know what to do with my time, with myself
Gmaj7
Without you, baby


BDA K:
               A7
Hmm, guess what
                                 D
I know this will knock you dead but
                             D7
I even went out and got a gig

Oh, forgot you know hip to the hip talk
Gmaj7
Plain J-O-B, baby
               A7                                D
In eight hours a day, all the overtime I can get
                      D7                         Gmaj7
I don't know, I guess it might be too late but
           A7
I swear I miss you


VERSE:
                            D
(Oh, I, Oh, I) Yeah, Lord knows

(Miss you, miss you)

(Miss you)
                        D7
Don't do me like this, baby (Miss you, miss you)
                       Gmaj7
Yeah, I'm on my knees, I'm begging you please

(Oh, I, Oh, I)
A7                             D

           D7
What am I gonna do, what can I say
  Gmaj7

BDA K:
    A7                       D                                D7
Heh,  remember how I used to  always say how lucky I done been
                           Gmaj7                   A7
You know being they got that that lottery, I hit it
                               D
I'd like to kind of make up for
                           D7                      Gmaj7
A lot of things that just seemed not to go right
                                           A7
Don't want you to think I'm trying to buy back your love or your friendship
     D                                                                     D7
But now I feel I got a chance to kind of make things up to you a little bit
Gmaj7                        A7
Heh, enough about you and me
                    D
How's my little son?
                         D7
Hmm, he ever ask about me?
                 Gmaj7
Just a little bit
A7                                   D             D7   Gmaj7   A7
   Does he still like to go down by the supermarket?
                D
If I could just
                     D7
If I could just see you
                                                         Gmaj7
Can't really say what you mean or what you want over the phone
