	        verse 1: 

  G 
I look at my telephone book 
I look at my telephone book 
I can't stand the way it look 
I hate to think the way you took me 
Em 
Down into a burning rage 
I wrote your name on every page 
    G         D         G 
But you don't return my calls 


verse 2: 

G 
You don't return my calls 
You don't return my calls 
I'm ready to bust down these walls 
I'm going down Niagara Falls 
Em 
 In a barrel of fun hey ain't I a lucky one? 
G         D         G 
You don't return my calls 


verse 3: 

G 
My telephone is the color red 
My telephone is the color red 
The red is all in my head 
Some things are left better unsaid 
Em 
Is that why you don't try 
To acknowledge or reply? 
    G         D         G 
Why you don't return my calls? 


Repeat verse 1: 

verse 4: 

C                                 G 
Did you hear from an old friend I knew once way back when 
Em                         C             D 
I did some bad things to myself and my health? 
C                                G 
Or did you happen to hear an old song I once sang? 
      Em                                            C 
Did it make your sweet sweet blood run cold in your veins 
             D                          G 
And will you never think of me the same?
