Please Call Me Baby by Tom Waits
Please Call Me Baby
G C B Em
Well the evening fell just like a star and it left a trail behind
G C G D
You spit as you slam out the door
G C B Em
If this is love we're crazy cos we fight like cats and dogs
C G D D7
I just know there's got to be more
Chorus:
G C D B
Please call me baby wherever you are
Em C D
It's too cold to be out walking in the streets
G C B7 Em C
Do crazy things when we're wounded everyone's a bit insane
G C
I don't want you catching your death of cold
D7 G
Out walking in the rain
I admit that I ain't no angel I admit that I ain't no saint
I'm selfish and I'm cruel but your blind
If I exorcise my devils well my angels may leave too
When they leave they're so hard to find
Chorus
We're always at each other's throats you know it drives me up the wall
Most of the time we're just blowing off steam
And I wish to God you'd leave me baby I wish to God you'd stay
Life's so different than it is in your dreams
Chorus
