Just an educated guess.
At the end, repeat the intro riff. End on G (3rd string, 12th fret).
Lyrics:
Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn't rang for so long
The time flies by like a vulture in the sky
Suddenly he breaks into song
CHORUS 1:
And I'm waiting by the phone
I'm waiting for ya to call me up and
Tell me I'm not alone
Yes, I'm waiting by the phone
I'm waiting for ya to call me up and
Tell me I'm not alone
Hello, speak up, is there somebody there
These hang-ups are getting me down
In a world frozen over with overexposure
Let's talk it over, let's go out and paint the town
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2:
Cause I want somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me
You're a dream for insomniacs
Prize in the Cracker Jacks
All the difference in the world is just a call away...
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
If you find this file and like it, all I ask is that you let me know:

Song pattern.
(Lead guitar riff)
Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn't rang for so long
And the time flies by like a vulture in the sky
Suddenly he breaks into song
(-Bridge-)
Well I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up
And tell me I'm not alone
Waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up
And tell me I'm not alone
Hello speak up
Is there somebody there
These hangups are getting me down
In a world frozen over with over exposure
Let's talk it over
Let's go out and paint the town
(Bridge)
(-Chorus-)
'Cause I want somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me...
(Solo)
You're a dream for insomniacs
Prize in the crackerjack
All the difference in the world is
Just a call away
(Bridge 2x)
(Chorus 2x)
(Lead guitar riff)
Sorry about the 5 chord charts, but some people don't actually
know what a 5th chord is.
