You can tell Gayle, if she calls,
F G
that I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.
C Am F G
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.
Am G F C
When we were kids on the field of the first day of school.
Am G F
I would've been her fool.
Am G F C

And you can tell Jane, if she writes,
F G
that I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.
C Am F G
That's total deceit, but she should've married me.
Am G F C
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor,
Am G F
bleeding out from all these wounds.
Am G F C

Am F C G
and bleed if it's what she says you oughta do.

And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.
C G C
