Whyd you only cal me when youre high?

Em C
The mirror's image,
Am
It tells me it's home time,
Em C
But I'm not finished,
Am
'Cause you're not by my side.

Em C
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving,
Am
Carrying your shoes,

Em C
Decided that once again I was just dreaming,
Am Em
Of bumping into you.

[Chorus]

C Am
Now it's three in the morning,
Em
And I'm trying to change your mind,
C Am
Left you multiple missed calls
Em
And to my message you reply.
C Am
Why'd you only call me when you're high?
Em
High
C Am
Why'd you only call me when you're high?

[Verse 2]

Em C
Somewhere darker,
Am
Talking the same shite,
Em C
I need a partner,
Am
Well are you out tonight?

Em C
It's harder and harder to get you to listen,
Am
More I get through the gears,
Em C
incapable of making alright decisions,
Am
and having bad ideas.

[Chorus]

C Am
Now it's three in the morning,
Em
And I'm trying to change your mind,
C Am
Left you multiple missed calls
Em
And to my message you reply.
C Am
Why'd you only call me when you're high?
Em
High
C Am
Why'd you only call me when you're high?

[Bridge]

Em C Am
And I can't see you here when I'm high,
Em C Am
Sort of feels like I'm running out of time,
Em C Am
I haven't found all I was hoping to find,
STOP
C Am
You said you got to be up in the morning,
C Am
Gonna have an early night,
Em
And you starting to bore me, baby,
C Am
Why'd you only call me when you're high?

[Solo]

(During the solo I play my own intro)

[Outro]

Em C Am
Why'd you only ever call me when you're high?
Em C Am
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
