[C] The [C] evening fell just like a [F] star, [D] left a trail [E] behind, and [Am] you spit as [C] you slammed
out [A#] the door.
[C#] [C] [Dm] That this is [C] love, we're [F] crazy, [Bm] we fight like cats and [E] dogs, [Am] I just know [C] there's got to [D] be more.
[Am] [D] [F] [C] [Dm]
[C] Please [F] call me [D] baby, [F] wherever you [E] are, [C] it's too cold to be out walking [A#] in the streets,
[C#] [C] we [Dm] do crazy [C] things when [F] we're wounded, [C] [E] everyone's a bit [Am] insane.

[Cm] [Am] [D] [Dm] [C] [Dm] I [C] admit that I [F] ain't no [D] angel, I admit I ain't [E] no saint, [Am] cause I'm selfish, [C] I'm cruel, and [D] I'm blind.
[C#] [C] If [Dm] I [C] exorcise my [F] devils, [D] well my angels [F] may leave [E] too, [D] but when they [C] leave, they're so
hard to [Am] find.
[D] [Dm] [C] [Dm] Please [C] call me [F]
[D] baby, [E] wherever you are, [C] [D] it's too cold [G] to be out walking [A#] in the streets,

[Am] [Dm] [C] [Dm] We're [C] always at each [F] other's [D] throats, it [E] drives me up the wall, [Am] most of the time I'm [C] just
blowing [A#] off steam.
[C#] [C] [Dm] I wish [C] to God [F] you'd leave [D] me, and I wish to God [E] you'd stay, [D] life's [C] so different than it
is in your [Am] dreams.
