Chords
Tacet E B
I don't wanna kiss you. I don't wanna touch.
E B E B
I don't wanna see you 'cause I don't miss you that much.
A E
I'm not a telephone junkie.
A E A E B
I told you that we were just good friends.
A E A E A E B
But when I hold you like I hold that bakelite in my hands,
E B
There's no action,
C#m G#m
there's no action,
A F#m
there's no action.
B E B A/E E/B B
Everytime I phone you, I just wanna put you down.
E B E B
He's got the keys to the car. They are the keys to the kingdom.
E B E B
He's got ev’rything you need. It's a shame that he didn't bring them.
A E A E A E B
I'm not a telephone junkie. If I'm inserting my coin I'm doing just fine.
A E A E B
And the things in my head start hurtin' my mind.
A E A E
And I think about the way things used to be,
A E A E
Knowing you're with him is driving me crazy.
A E A E
Sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely,
F#m B
But I always disconnect it in time.
There's no action,
there's no action,
there's no action.
Ev’rytime I phone you, I just wanna put you,
Ev’rytime I phone you, I just wanna put you,
Ev’rytime I phone you, I just wanna put you down.
There's no action, there's no action, there's no action.
Everytime I phone you, I just wanna put you down
