Eb   F        Bb
Tell me on the phone

Ebmaj7            Cm7       F
You know where my heart's gone

     Bb      Ebmaj7
Why I'm so withdrawn

Eb   F        Bb     Ebmaj7
Every word is more obscure

   Cm7        F     Bb
To my heart's song

                 Ebmaj7
And I can't hold on

Cm7  F
(Ah)
[Chorus]
Bb                             Ebmaj7
Yesterday I wrote a little tune

Bb                               Ebmaj7
I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used

Bb                              Ebmaj7
I'm sorry but it's been weighing on me

Bb         Gm        Ebmaj7

No, I can't lie when I sing

My dear

There's nothing left in here

So just hold on

But don't hold on to me
[Interlude] Abmaj7 Fm Bb Eb Ebmaj7 [Bridge]
Abmaj7
Tried my best this time

             Fm
To keep your hand in mine

         Bb
But it's written now

                        Eb    Ebmaj7
And I'm ripping out the page

        Abmaj7
And you fantasize

     Fm
Of chasing lights

        Bb
But you won't get far

                        Eb  Ebmaj7
With half your heart at sea

               Abmaj7
And New York's callin'

        Fm
For you darling

    Bb
So pack your bags

                   Eb    Ebmaj7
Don't throw it all away

             Abmaj7
You know I'm fallin

         Fm
From you darling

    Bb
And I'm afraid

                        Eb  Ebmaj      Ab Fm Bb
There's no more room to stay...to stay

Eb                 Ebmaj7             Ab Fm Bb Bb7
I'm afraid there's nothing left to say

Eb        Ebmaj7         Ab
I still wait for you to call

         Fm                                       Bb
Though I told you that we shouldn't speak outside normal protocol

Eb              Ebmaj7       Abmaj7
How could you give me your all?

Fm                           Bb7
Why should you wait for me at all?
[Chorus]
       Eb           Ebmaj7          Ab
'Cause yesterday I wrote a little tune

Eb                 Ebmaj7            Ab
I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used

    Eb                   Ebmaj7       Ab
I'm sorry but it's been weighing on me

 Eb  Cm               Ab
Oh, I can't lie when I sing

Eb        Cm     Abmaj7
No, I can't lie
