Found a pay phone, and the courage, it did swell

        Bbmaj7           Am7             Dm7
What to say James never really knew that well

         Bbmaj7     Am7                 Dm7
And his apology was more than they could stand

"I'm just a poor excuse for what some call a man"

"So I want you to be spirited and brave

         Bbmaj7           Am7             Dm7
Find someone to love, but never take my place"

            Bbmaj7          Am7            Dm7
He hung the phone up and defeated his own life

      Bbmaj7         Am7           Gm7
Disappeared into the closest neon sign
