[Intro] D Am [Verse]
          G
Big brown eyes, and a gust of wind

        D
And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says,

                   G
"The end is coming soon," but not soon enough

D
Restring all your guitars, pack up all your stuff

          C        C/B    Am
'Cause if Robert's dad is right

             C       C/B         Am
We might not make it through the night

        C       C/B  Am
And I'd hate to go alone

                   D    D/C    D/B    D/A
Please pick up the phone
[Verse]
              G
Well a box of red, and a pill or three

        D
And I'm callin' time and temperature just for some company

                G
I wish you were here, I wish I was too

           D
Well, I'll drink myself to sleeplessness, I always do

          C       C/B  Am
You don't want me anymore

      C                C/B            Am
Since fame and fortune broke down our door

                C       C/B   Am
Well, you don't give me no respect

                 D    D/C    D/B    D/A
Oh, what did I expect?
[Chorus]
    G                   Am            C       D
And if that phone don't ring one more time

          G                 Am         C      D
Well, I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind

    G            Am             C            D
You made a big impression for a girl of your size

G               Am         C            D         G    Am    C
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes

           D         G    Am    C
Yeah, your big brown eyes

           D         G    Am    C     D
Yeah, your big brown eyes

              G
Her hands are cold, her breath is warm

        D
She's a port, in a storm

            G
I'm worried now, but it won't be long

         D
Well, it takes a worried man, you know, to sing a worried song

          C     C/B   Am
An' I got issues,   yeah

       C       C/B    Am
Like I miss you,   yeah

      C      C/B        Am
And I wish I weren't so thick

                        D    D/C    D/B    D/A
Well, I'm making myself sick
[Chorus]
    G                   Am            C       D
And if that phone don't ring one more time

          G                 Am         C      D
Well, I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind

    G            Am             C            D
