You and I were meant to be

Even though you don't know me

I don't even know your name

[Pre-Chorus]
G G7 F
And I've got this crazy feeling

you've been trying to get to me
Fm7

Basic service: sixty bucks
I'll roll the dice, you try your luck
A pair gets me a week in rent
And a straight gets even more
I'm no good at playing cards
I hold my dates in high regard
Pay up front and ye shall receive
[Bridge]
G
Love is never in-between
C
if it isn't one thing, then
Am
it's always something else
F G
I don't even know what I mean
C
I thought that it was nothing, but now I
F
can't find nothing else
Am G Dadd9/F# D7 Fm7

G7
But at least you tried to
[Chorus]
Call me, call me, call me
[Coda]
Are you ashamed of what you've done?
All we did was have some fun
I won't judge and I won't tell
And I'll forget you when you've gone
I pity all you working stiffs,
Living wondering "what if?"
"What if someday I was free?"
[Chorus]
Call me, call me
[Coda]
C, Cb6/E, C, Gm6, C (x2)
[End on C]
