SALLY'S ON THE PHONE  [hide chords]

     G       F#    Emin     C       B
this happens every time you call my line
         Amin   G/B
i've got plenty say
          G        F#        Emin            C          B
about the state of things in my life and the weather to-day
       Amin G/B
then i feel okay

          G                Emin
you, see: i don't feel so alone
     G              Emin
when sally's on the phone
        C                                            G
and i'm asking her about the next time she's driving home

G       F#       Emin             C             B
sally marie is a sad girl but she smiled bright blue
       Amin         G/B
when i told her the good news 
          G      F#          Emin                B
about how all my friends are dead now except for her 
     Amin          G/B
so i don't have to choose
            G         F#       Emin                   B
between the stiff and fragrant corpses and her little hand 
    Amin       G/B
all fleshy and new
             G         F#          Emin                  B    
and with her long lost love like a spaceship in my empty mind 
         Amin         G/B
i've got something to do

            G              Emin
you, see: i don't feel so alone
     G              Emin
when sally's on the phone
        C                                            G
and i'm asking her about the next time she's driving home

and sally says:

            G              Emin
you, see: i don't feel so alone
     G              Emin
when sally's on the phone
        C                                            G
and i'm asking her about the next time she's driving home
