[Verse 1]
B            C#m
 I'm on the run
               G#m
She's lighting up
               E
One more cigarette to calm down
B              C#m
 I'm driving home
               G#m    E
Pick up the phone, yeah

[Verse 2]
B               C#m
 The gloves are off
                 G#m
The curtains drawn shut
            E
Same as the door behind me
B                 C#m
 The drink in her hand
          G#m       E
Emergency lands, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
          G#m
She says “I can't hear you”
E                B
Well, you need to
             C#m
I'm hanging up the phone now
 G#m
“I can't hear you”
E                B   B
Well, you need to
