E B A
[Verse]
C#m A
Friday night and it's snowing outside
E B
I'm all alone here watching it fall
C#m A
TV's on but the sound's turned down
E B F#m
Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A
I oughta just let it ring
B
'Cause every time it's the same damn thing
[Chorus]
E B F#m A
Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
E B F#m
It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no
E B
He swears that it's gonna be different
F#m A
this time but it won't be
F#m~
Why's he always gotta be calling me
E B Am
when I'm lonely?
[Verse]
C#m A
He left a message saying
E B
he was only fifteen minutes away
C#m A
And that's just enough time for me
E B F#m
to figure out if I should stay or leave
F#m
But if I think it through
A
I ain't got nothing better than you
[Chorus]
E
Why's he always gotta be
B F#m A
calling me when I'm lonely?
E
It's so wrong to be leading me
B F#m
on and I can't say no
E
He swears that it's gonna be
B F#m A
different this time but it won't be
F#m~
Why's he always gotta be
E B
calling me when I'm lonely?
[Bridge]
F#m
He's at the front door now
G#m
With his magic smile
A
And he'll be gone tomorrow
B
But right now he's mine for
E B A B C#m A B
a little while
[Chorus]
E
Why's he always gotta be
B F#m A
calling me when I'm lonely?
E
It's so wrong to be leading me
B F#m
on and I can't say no
E
He swears that it's gonna be
B F#m A
different this time but it won't be
F#m~
Why's he always gotta be calling me
E B
when I'm lonely?
[Outro]
F#m~
Why's he always gotta be calling me when
E B F#m A E B A
I'm lonely?
