Jason Boland - Telephone Romeo

      [Intro]
A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D  x2

[Verse 1]
            A          E             F#m             A
We kept our parting connected by the same stretch of road
    D            A                   E
And I'm tired of packing around this heavy load
   F#m           D                   A
It started out a stream but then the levee fell
         D          A              E
When the rain maker had some extra seeds to sell

        A                E                   F#m   A
Well, I just thought I'd call and see what's going on
        D            A                 E
Did the hill country flatten out since I've been gone?
        F#m        D             A
Are the fields all painted up in red and blue
          D            A             E
Are you thinking of me the times I'm thinking of you

[Chorus]
                   D                  A
Well, I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty
                 E                  A
And I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired
             D                       A  A/B  E
I just wanna drive till I run out of money
       F#m           D     A   D  E               A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D  A
'Cause I don't wanna be no Romeo   on the telephone wire

[Interlude]
A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D

[Verse 2]
         A          E            F#m   A
Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous?
          D            A               E
Well, the Yanks are in town and we got nothin' to do
     F#m           D               A
Your neighbors are gone and you're feelin' alone
    D          A               E
You can't kiss somebody on the telephone

        A           E                F#m    A
Did you go out last night and was it just a friend?
          D         A                  E
Would you care if I showed up there at 6 a.m.?
    F#m       D            A
And drive all day with the top pulled down
D           A                 E
Stay in all night or we could paint the town

[Chorus]
             D                  A
I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty
                 E                  A
And I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired
             D                       A  A/B  E
I just wanna drive till I run out of money
       F#m           D     A   D  E               A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D  A
'Cause I don't wanna be no Romeo   on the telephone wire

[Instrumental]
D  A  E  A  D  A  A/B  E  F#m  D  E
A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D

[Verse 3]
      A                E                F#m         A
And I guess I'd better go now, and it's getting too late
          D         A                      E
There's a party downstairs and I thought I heard something break
      F#m         D                 A
And I bid you goodnight and hope to see you soon
D           A       E
Maybe later on this afternoon

[Chorus]
             D  N.C.
I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty
N.C.
And I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired
N.C.                                 A  A/B  E
I just wanna drive till I run out of money
       F#m           D     A   D  E               A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D  A
'Cause I don't wanna be no Romeo   on the telephone wire
       F#m           D     A   D E               A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D  A
I said I don't wanna be no Romeo  on the telephone wire

[Outro]
A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D  A
