(Capo on 1)

(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |
 
(Verse 1)
(G)Laying awake in your bed
Hiding myself (Am) from the things you did
These past (D)months I've tried
To (C)bury my head (D) in the sand (G)
(G)Last night I told you I'm out
Though part of me wants (Am) you still around
But (D)I�fm not a toy on a string
Just to drag (G) around (D)
 
(Chorus)
'Cause when you call (Am) me up at 2 (D) am
Cry-(G)-ing that (D/F#) you need (Em) me again
Flut-(Am)tering your eyes and pull-(D)ing me in
You (G) sure know (D/F#) how to make (Em) me sin
No, (Am) I won't go (D)
And I won't fall (G) for it (D/F#) this time (Em)
So, you're (Am)best to go
Find some-(D)-one else to string by (G) / / / (G) / / /
 
(Verse 2)
(G)Each night I wait for the ring
Of my telephone (Am) laying next to me
You lie and say (D) you've changed
But your (Em)voice still com-(D)-forts me (G) / / / (Em) / (D) / 

(Bridge)
Lord, (G)send me away from this woman or planet
I'd (Am)gladly aboard the next rocket, if I'm honest
'Cause I (D) can't escape the devil that's whispering to me (G)
And (Am)won't let me leave (D)
 
(Chorus)
'Cause when you call (Am) me up at 2 (D) am
Cry-(G)-ing that (D/F#) you need (Em) me again
Flut-(Am)tering your eyes and pull-(D)ing me in
You (G) sure know (D/F#) how to make (Em) me sin
No, (Am) I won't go (D)
And I won't fall (G) for it (D/F#) this time (Em)
 
(Outro.)
So you're (Am)best to go
Find some-(D)-one else to string by (G) /(G/F#) (C/E) - - -
So you're best (Am) to go
Find some-(D)-one else to string by
(G) /(D/F#)  / (Em) /(D)  / (G) /(D/F#)  / (Em) / (D) - - - - -
