IF THE PHONE DOESN'T RING
Jimmy Buffett
(Buffett, Utley, Jennings)

Capo III Fret


There are (A) oceans of (E) feelings be(D)tween (A) us
(F#m) Currents that take us and (A) sweep us away
That's why we (E) seldom have (D) seen (A) us 
In the (F#m) light of a (E) cold hard (A) day
(F#m) Lots of new friends with the (A) same old answers
(F#m) Open your eyes you might (E) see
If our (A) lives were that (E) simple, we'd (D) live in the (A) past
If the phone doesn't (E) ring, it's (A) me
         
If the (E) phone doesn't ring, you'll (A) know that it's me     
I'll be (E) out in the eye of the (A) storm
If the (E) phone doesn't ring, you (A) know that I'll be           
Where (E) someone can make me feel (A) warm    
It's too bad we (E) can't turn and (D) live in the (A) past      
If the (F#m) phone doesn't (E) ring, it's (A) me

I've had (A) good days and (E) bad days and (D) goin' half (A) mad days
I (F#m) try to let go, but you're (A) still on my mind
I've lost all the (E) old ways, I'm (D) searchin' for (A) new plays
I'm (F#m) puttin' it all on the (A) line
(F#m) Lots of new friends, with the (A) same old problems
(F#m) Open your eyes, you might (E) see
If our (A) lives were that (E) simple, we'd (D) live in the (A) past
If the phone doesn't (E) ring, it's (A) me

If the (E) phone doesn't ring, you'll (A) know that it's me     
I'll be (E) out in the eye of the (A) storm
If the (E) phone doesn't ring, you (A) know that I'll be           
Where (E) someone can make me feel (A) warm    
It's too bad we (E) can't turn and (D) live in the (A) past      
If the (F#m) phone doesn't (E) ring, it's (A) me

If it (A) takes all the (E) future, we'll (D) live through the (A) past
If the (F#m) phone doesn't (E) ring, it's (A) me
