Intro: Ab Verse 1: Ab Laying awake in your bed Bbm Hiding myself from the things you did Eb These past months I've tried Db Eb Ab To bury my head in the sand Ab Last night I told you I'm out Bbm Though part of me wants you still around Eb But I'm not a toy on a string Ab Bbm Eb Just to drag around Chorus: Bbm 'Cause when you call me up Eb At 2 am Ab Eb Fm Crying that you need me again Bbm Fluttering your eyes Eb And pulling me in Ab Eb Fm You sure know how to make me sin Bbm Eb No, I won't go Ab Eb Fm And I won't fall for it this time Bbm So you're best to go Eb Ab Find someone else to string by Interlude: Ab Verse 2: Ab Each night I wait for the ring Bbm Of my telephone laying next to me Eb You lie and say you've changed Db Eb Ab But your voice still comforts me Interlude: Db Eb Bridge: Ab Lord, send me away from this woman or planet Bbm I'd gladly aboard the next rocket If I'm honest Eb Ab 'Cause I can't escape the devil that's whispering to me Bbm Eb And won't let me leave Chorus: Bbm 'Cause when you call me up Eb At 2 am Ab Eb Fm Crying that you need me again Bbm Fluttering your eyes Eb And pulling me in Ab Eb Fm You sure know how to make me sin Bbm Eb No, I won't go Ab Eb Fm And I won't fall for it this time Outro: Bbm So you're best to go Eb Ab Ab Db Find someone else to string by Bbm So you're best to go Eb Ab Eb Bbm Ab Ab Eb Bbm Ab A|-----------------------------3---1------1----6---3---1------1----6----| E|-----------------------------4---3------1----4---4---3------1----4----| C|-----------------------------3---3------1----0---3---3------1----0----| g|-----------------------------1---0------3----1---1---0------3----1----| Find someone else to string by This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

Try the driving 4/4 as a starting point: d – d – d u d u. This arrangement is in Ab major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 restores the key you see here.
