Capo 2nd fret 
 
Intro: C / Dm / F / C 
 
C 
Boy, I didn't mean to wake you 
     Dm 
I'm okay, yeah everything's alright 
         F 
I'm in a phone booth outside of Denver 
C 
I drove all night 
C 
Well, I would've called you sooner 
       Dm 
But I knew you'd talk me out of this 
          F 
I've had alot of miles to do some thinkin' 
        C                      C  
Now it all makes perfect sense 
       Dm                F 
No, I haven't changed my mind 
        C             C 
I just called to say goodbye 
 
Chorus: 
 
F 
You should see this mountain sunrise 
F 
It looks just the way I dreamed 
F 
Got my map of Colorado in the seat right next to me 
            Dm 
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth 
                   Am 
It's better left behind 
        C             C 
I just called to say goodbye 
 
 
C 
Boy, you know I'm gonna miss you 
        Dm 
But we both know it's for the best 
         F 
We just can't keep using each other 
          C 
As a safety net 
C 
I bet someday you're gonna thank me 
          Dm 
When you finally get a taste of true love 
      F 
Baby, what we had was pretty good 
         C       C  
Just not enough 
               Dm               F 
So, hear's to tears we'll never cry 
                 C    C     
I just called to say goodbye 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
Instrumental Break: F / C 
 
             Dm 
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth 
                    Am   C   C  
It's better left behind 
F       C              C 
I just called to say goodbye 
Dm      C              C        
I just called to say goodbye 
 
Outro: Dm / F / C
