Calling America

Tom : Bm
D A
Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
Bm G
Across the water on a seven-fortyseven
D Bm A D Bm A
Yeah, we're living in a modern world.
D A
And pretty soon she's really got the notion
Bm G
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
  D           Bm
A D ( D Bm G A )
Yeah, we're living in a modern world.

[Pre-Chorus]
F# Bm
Talk is cheap on satellite
G Em C
But all I get is static
F# Bm F# Bm
Information, I'm still here
G A
Re-dial on automatic.

[Chorus]
D G
Calling America (can't get a message through)
D A
Calling America (that's what she said to do)
D G
Calling America (that's where she has to be)
D A
Calling America (she left a number for me)
A
Calling America.

[Verse]
D A
But I'm just talking to a satellite
Bm G
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
D Bm A D Bm A
Yeah, we're living in a modern world.
D A
All I had to do was pick up the phone
Bm G
I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone
  D        Bm
A D ( D C#m )
Yeah, we're living in a modern world.

[Pre-Chorus]
F# Bm
She left a number I could call
G Em C
But no one's there, no one at all
F# Bm F# Bm
There must be something going wrong
G A
That number just rings on and on.

Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while

Guess she's missing me across the miles
