[G][Am]
[C][Em]

[Verse 1]
[F]This here is the place where I will be
[C]staying
There [F]isn't a number, you can
call the pay phone
[C]Let it ring a long, long, long, long [F]time
If I don't pick up, hang up, [Am]call back,
let it [C]ring some more, [F]oh[C]
If [F]I don't pick up, pick up
The [Am]sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a [C]coil
[D]Call me when you try to wake

[Chorus 1]
[G]her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]Call me when you try to [G]wake her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]Call me when you try to [G]wake her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[C][Em]

[Verse 2]
There are [F]scratches all around the coin slot
Like a [C]heartbeat, baby
trying to wake [F]up
But this machine can only [C]swallow money
You can't lay a patch by com[F]puter design
It's just a lot of [Am]stupid, stupid [C]signs
[F]Tell [C]her
[F]Tell her she can kiss my [C]ass
Then laugh and
say that you were [F]only kidding
That way she'll know that it's
[Am]really, really, really, really [C]me me
[D]Call me when you try to wake

[Chorus 2]
[G]her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]Call me when you try to [G]wake her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]Call me when you try to [G]wake her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[C][Em]

[Verse 3]
[F]Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
To[C]day I need something
more sub-sub- sub-sub-sub[F]stantial
A can of beans or black-eyed peas, some
[C]Nescafe and ice
A [F]candy bar, a falling star, or a
[Am]reading from Doctor [C]Seuss
[D]Call me when you try to wake

[Chorus 3]
[G]her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]Call me when you try to [G]wake her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]Call me when you try to [G]wake her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[C][Em]

[Bridge 1]
[Bm]The cat in the hat came back,
[Am]wreaked a lot of havoc
on the [Bm]way
Always had a smile and a reason [Am]to pretend
But their world
[Bm]has flat backgrounds and little
[Am]need to sleep but to [C]dream
The sidewinder [Em]sleeps on his back
[D]Call me when you try to wake

[Chorus 4]
[G]her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]Call me when you try to [G]wake her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]I can always sleep s[G]tanding up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[C][Em]
[D]Call me when you try to wake

[Chorus 5]
[G]her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]Call me when you try to [G]wake her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]I can always sleep s[G]tanding up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[C][Em]
[D]Call me when you try to wake

[Chorus 6]
[G]her up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]I can always sleep s[G]tanding up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[D]I can always sleep s[G]tanding up
(Call me when you try to [Am]wake her)
[C]We've got to boogie, boogie,
[Em]move on [D]this one
