[Am]she's [Bm]crossing out the [C]details.[Dm] [Em] [F]
[Em]dusting off the [Dm]picture frames, it's saturday.[Am] [Bm]
she's been [C]waiting for the [Dm]phone [Em]to [F]ring.[Em] [Dm]
she's been waiting all [Am]night.
but it [Bm]doesn't matter [C]who's on the [Dm]line[Em] [F]
as [Em]long as the [Dm]voice works.[Am] [Bm]
but you're [C]too scared of [Dm]what you [Em]might [F]say.[Em] [Dm]
so you [Am]think it out on [Bm]paper, hypo[C]thetical and [Dm]safer.
[Em]while she's [F]thumbing through her [Em]catalogues,
picking [Dm]birthday cards, her favourite stars.[Am] [Bm]
i guess she's [C]loneli[Dm]er [Em]than [F]you.[Em] [Dm]

and you can [C]fill it up with [G]letters.
