[Intro]
F  C  Gm
F  C  A#


[Verse]
Dm                      A#
  Friday night and it's snowing outside
F                     C
 I'm all alone here watching it fall
Dm               A#
TV's on but the sound's turned down
     F               C                  Gm
Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now


[Pre-Chorus]
   Gm                     A#
I oughta just let it ring
                            C
'Cause every time it's the same damn thing


[Chorus]
 F                        C                   Gm     A#
Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
          F                    C                  Gm
It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no
     F                         C
He swears that it's gonna be different
              Gm          A#
this time but it won't be
 Gm~
Why's he always gotta be calling me
          F      C Am
when I'm lonely?


[Verse]
Dm                 A#
 He left a message saying
   F                C
he was only fifteen minutes away
Dm                     A#
And that's just enough time for me
    F            C                 Gm
to figure out if I should stay or leave
 Gm
But if I think it through
A#
 I ain't got nothing better than you


[Chorus]
 F
Why's he always gotta be
 C                   Gm     A#
calling me when I'm lonely?
          F
It's so wrong to be leading me
C                  Gm
on and I can't say no
     F
He swears that it's gonna be
  C                     Gm          A#
different this time but it won't be
 Gm~
Why's he always gotta be
                     F      C
calling me when I'm lonely?


[Bridge]
Gm
  He's at the front door now
Am
  With his magic smile
A#
  And he'll be gone tomorrow
C
  But right now he's mine for
         F  C  A#  C   Dm  A#  C
a little while


[Chorus]
 F
Why's he always gotta be
 C                   Gm     A#
calling me when I'm lonely?
          F
It's so wrong to be leading me
C                  Gm
on and I can't say no
     F
He swears that it's gonna be
  C                     Gm          A#
different this time but it won't be
 Gm~
Why's he always gotta be calling me
          F      C
when I'm lonely?


[Outro]
 Gm~
Why's he always gotta be calling me when
     F      C  Gm  A#    F  C  A#
I'm lonely?
