Tom: A
A E F#m A
We kept our parting connected by the same stretch of road
D A E
And I'm tired of packing around this heavy load
F#m D A
It started out a stream but then the levee fell
D A E
When the rain maker had some extra seeds to sell
A E F#m A
Well, I just thought I'd call and see what's going on
D A E
Did the hill country flatten out since I've been gone?
F#m D A
Are the fields all painted up in red and blue
D A E
Are you thinking of me the times I'm thinking of you
[Chorus]
D A
Well, I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty
E A
And I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired
D A A/B E
I just wanna drive till I run out of money
F#m D A D E A E F#m D A E D A
'Cause I don't wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire
[Interlude]
A E F#m D A E D
[Verse 2]
A E F#m A
Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous?
D A E
Well, the Yanks are in town and we got nothin' to do
F#m D A
Your neighbors are gone and you're feelin' alone
D A E
You can't kiss somebody on the telephone
A E F#m A
Did you go out last night and was it just a friend?
D A E
Would you care if I showed up there at 6 a.m.?
F#m D A
And drive all day with the top pulled down
D A E
Stay in all night or we could paint the town
[Chorus]
D A
I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty
E A
And I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired
D A A/B E
I just wanna drive till I run out of money
F#m D A D E A E F#m D A E D A
'Cause I don't wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire
[Instrumental]
D A E A D A A/B E F#m D E
A E F#m D A E D
[Verse 3]
A E F#m A
And I guess I'd better go now, and it's getting too late
D A E
There's a party downstairs and I thought I heard something break
F#m D A
And I bid you goodnight and hope to see you soon
D A E
Maybe later on this afternoon
[Chorus]
D N.C.
I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty
N.C.
And I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired
N.C. A A/B E
I just wanna drive till I run out of money
F#m D A D E A E F#m D A E D A
'Cause I don't wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire
F#m D A D E A E F#m D A E D A
I said I don't wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire
