[Verse]
C                                 C
 I can't make the damn phone ring, simply pathetic if I call you anymore
Am                    F                  N.C.               C
 I can't figure it now we tallied our scores, I got knocked out
C                             C
 I know when you come to town, I know where you drop your dime and whom it's for
Am                          F                      N.C. Em/A            C
 But I'm not good enough to share your cup of coffee 15 years was long enough

[Chorus]
C G C        G         Am        E            F                      G
     Look at me I'm an old colleague, another hard knocks day acquaintance
C     G          Am      E              F                      G
 Finally you are free of me, it must be true or you'd give a minute
F         G         C                  G           F
 But it's always my fault, always it's your forgiveness
       G          C               E7
This unbalanced resolve I must be hateful
F     G           C               G          Am         G            C
 So I hang up the phone call it a small sacrifice, you still hear me now?

[Verse]
C                               C
 Dear you the vinyl it was blue, stalking poor Blake commiserating drunks at sea
Am                   F                           N.C.         C
 Do you remember when Jawbreaker rocked The Boat? I'm sure you do... and don't
C G C        G          Am      E             F                       G
     Look at me, I'm an old fly buddy, just a blue coach class acquaintance
C     G          Am      E             F                          G
 Finally you are free of me It must be true, 'cause it only makes sense
F          G             C                 G        F
 But I can still see you now, pictures are in every town
      G                C               E7
I can still write this down: I must be hateful
F     G            C              G           Am               G
 So I hang up that phone, even at those lofty heights, can you still hear me?

[Outro]
F        G             Am       G             C
 Can you still hear me?  Do you still hear me now?
