E                     A
I call you up on the phone
 E            A
Nobody's at home
 E                A
So I do my usual thing
 E                          A
I let the telephone ring & ring & ring & ring
    E                        A
I'm standing here in this phone booth
  E                    A
Coping with the ugly truth

Chorus
B7
I know where you are
  A
I know where you are
  A                          E
You're down drinking at the bar

I can picture you there on that stool
Drinking like a drunken fool
Sitting there on your ass, Muttering into your glass
Your paying for your low life thrills with wet quarters, soggy one dollar bills

Chorus


Dean Martin's on the juke box I bet
Or maybe it's Tammy Wynnette
The tear jerkers are jerking your tears,
Salt watering your whiskeys & your beers
You got the Miller high life bouncing balls
You got the Unica club waterfalls

Chorus

Go ahead get drunk it's alright
Lost weekend on a Tuesday night
But I'm going to have to give you the score
I'm not going to call you up on the telephone no more
I'm sick & tired listening to that phone ring fifteen times
I'm sick & tired getting back my dime
