[Intro]
C  G  Dm
C  G  F


[Verse]
Am                      F
  Friday night and it's snowing outside
C                     G
 I'm all alone here watching it fall
Am               F
TV's on but the sound's turned down
     C               G                  Dm
Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now


[Pre-Chorus]
   Dm                     F
I oughta just let it ring
                            G
'Cause every time it's the same damn thing


[Chorus]
 C                        G                   Dm     F
Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
          C                    G                  Dm
It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no
     C                         G
He swears that it's gonna be different
              Dm          F
this time but it won't be
 Dm~
Why's he always gotta be calling me
          C      G Am
when I'm lonely?


[Verse]
Am                 F
 He left a message saying
   C                G
he was only fifteen minutes away
Am                     F
And that's just enough time for me
    C            G                 Dm
to figure out if I should stay or leave
 Dm
But if I think it through
F
 I ain't got nothing better than you


[Chorus]
 C
Why's he always gotta be
 G                   Dm     F
calling me when I'm lonely?
          C
It's so wrong to be leading me
G                  Dm
on and I can't say no
     C
He swears that it's gonna be
  G                     Dm          F
different this time but it won't be
 Dm~
Why's he always gotta be
                     C      G
calling me when I'm lonely?


[Bridge]
Dm
  He's at the front door now
Em
  With his magic smile
F
  And he'll be gone tomorrow
G
  But right now he's mine for
         C  G  F  G   Am  F  G
a little while


[Chorus]
 C
Why's he always gotta be
 G                   Dm     F
calling me when I'm lonely?
          C
It's so wrong to be leading me
G                  Dm
on and I can't say no
     C
He swears that it's gonna be
  G                     Dm          F
different this time but it won't be
 Dm~
Why's he always gotta be calling me
          C      G
when I'm lonely?


[Outro]
 Dm~
Why's he always gotta be calling me when
     C      G  Dm  F    C  G  F
I'm lonely?
