Why’d You Have to Call?

Intro: Dm C Bb F F (x2)

Verse 1:
Dm                         C         Bb
  Come to terms that your car ain't gonna be parked in my drive
F
  Now my heart doesn't stop when I see one passing by
Dm                       C         Bb            F
  I can talk about you now without wanting to cry, mm
Dm                      C          Bb
  Smell of you slowly fades every time I wash my clothes
F
  Fear of you goes away when I go places we'd go
Dm                      C           Bb                F
  I don't skip all our songs when they're on the radio

Pre-chorus:
           Dm     C   Bb            F
Isn't this always how the story goes?
                 Dm      C   Bb          F
Yeah, isn't this always how the story goes?

Chorus:
(nc)     Dm           C       Bb
I was just getting back to myself
              F
Since you proved you don't care at all
         Dm         C        Bb
I was just telling all of my friends
        F
That I finally healed from the fall
          Dm        C    Bb F
So, baby, why'd you have to call?
      Dm        C    Bb F
Baby, why'd you have to call?

Verse 2:
Dm                          C        Bb
  It's like you started to sense I'm doing good on my own
F
  9:02 on a Thursday when you picked up your phone
Dm                  C                 Bb      F
  Do you miss me or are you scared to be alone?

Pre-chorus:
                  Dm     C    Bb           F
'Cause isn't this always how the story goes?
                 Dm     C     Bb        F
Yeah, isn't this always how the story goes?

Chorus:
(nc)     Dm           C       Bb

Since you proved you don't care at all
         Dm         C        Bb
I was just telling all of my friends
        F
That I finally healed from the fall
          Dm        C    Bb F
So, baby, why'd you have to call?
      Dm        C    Bb F
Baby, why'd you have to call?

Bridge:
Dm                           C          Bb
  Salt in the wound like you can't even imagine
F
  Know that you do it 'cause you're craving a reaction
Dm                       C     Bb
  Do you get some kind of sick satisfaction
F                                                   Dm  C Bb F
Knowing I'm gonna have to pick myself up all over again?

               Dm     C   Bb            F
Oh, isn't this always how the story goes?

         Dm         C        Bb
I was just telling all of my friends
        F
That I finally healed from the fall (Healed from the fall)
