Key of G

Intro:  G C G C G

             G                           C                  G
I called her up to say I'm sorry, I just can't have lunch today
          G         G/F#            Em     D         C
Cause the boss just called and he's flying in from L.A.
           G 
And as the phone rang, I remembered the time
    C                     G
How simple things used to be
         G                 G/F#      Em           D          C
Then her voice came on the line, not her, but the answer machine


Chorus
           C                            D               Em            D  C
She said, "I'm sorry, I can't take your call, cause I'm packing up to go away
    G               C           Am                  D
And John, if that's you're just cancellin' lunch anyway
       Em               C         G                  C
Ah you used to find the time, but now you don't even try
          G                        C       D          G D  C
So at the sound of the tone you're on your own...goodbye.

I ran down to the street and I caught a cab, God I had to get back home
But the house was empty, except for the code-a-phone
And as the tears came, I remembered the time, how happy we used to be
And I'll never forget the last words she ever said to me

Chorus
             Em               C         G                  C
She said you used to find the time, but now you don't even try
So at the sound of the tone, you're on your own.......goodbye

The chords are great. Sounds good. One minor correction in the lyrics. It should be "coiled up phone." Other than that, perfect. Great song that I forgot about for a lot of years. Good job.

"Code-a-phone" is correct. In the early to mid 80's it was a rival of early answering machines, making it perfect in this song.
