Dialtone Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(A F♯m x4)

Beside the Adrum kit in the bF♯masement, I was tArying to get to sF♯mleep

I heard your Avoice come through the F♯mfloorboards onA my answeringF♯m machine

By theA time I reached the F♯mphone’s ring,A the only thing still F♯msinging was Athe

dialF♯m tone

(A F♯m x3)

I couldn’t find you in my dreams so I went out into the night

I heard you talking somewhere soft, your voice bounced of a satellite

By the time I reached the place where the sound originated you were gone

(A F♯m x3)

Oh but I smell summer in those letters that you sprayed with your perfume

I breathed your breath and I was left swaying with the curtains in the room

In the knowledge you would leave me under the angry April moon

Where you first found me

(A F♯m x7)

You’ve got one too many lovers but you’re still my only friend

And you’ve got more secret admirers and there are snakes in the garden

By the time you finish kissing, huh, whoever’s come around hissing

You are spitting out poison

(A F♯m x3)

Oh and all the people have their reasons

for the things they think they have to do

But none of the reasons you keep speaking sounded anything like the truth

Well, each one sounds like a composite each one sounds like a new excuse for letting go

(A F♯m x3)

Oh, alright

ASo, let go

F♯mIf all that’s left is letting go

F♯As the x-ray clearly shows tAhis thing was broken long ago

F♯mThe bars will close and the aAshtrays overflow

(Strum F#m, then slide to the barred A (577655) and strum)

Alright

(Right before the last verse begins you hit the chords A (on 5th), G# (on 4th), G (on

and F#m one time each)

I won’t be there on Thursday night but I hope you all have fun

And you know that you may not recognize my absence, but I won’t be the only one

that goes missing from your party as the stitches come undone, uh-oh-uh

Outro

A F♯m x5
