Bb  Gm   Eb   F

[Verse 1]

Bb               Gm                             Eb
Down, down in my bones Somewhere I'd never have known
                        F     Bb                       Gm
Right in the back of my head, it hit me like a beam of light
                          Eb                                 F
Hit me like a hook of the right and I could have fell to the floor
           Bb                          Gm
'Cause you talk to me and it comes off the wall
    Eb                          F
You talk to me and it goes over my head

[Pre-chorus 1]

         Bb                                 Gm
So let's go to bed before you say something real
      Eb               F
Let's go to bed before you say how you feel

[Chorus 1]

           Bb        Gm
'Cause it's you oh, I always knew
         Eb                        F
Oh, it's always you, oh baby, it's you  yeah

[Verse 2]

Bb                 Gm                 Eb
I try my best to unwind nothing on my mind
                   F     Bb                     Gm
Nothing at all but you, oblivious to all that I owe
    Eb                      F
I'm hanging on to what I don't know

[Pre-chorus 1]

         Bb                                 Gm
So let's go to bed before you say something real
      Eb               F
Let's go to bed before you say how you feel


[Pre-chorus 2]

                          Bb                              Gm
You used to call me on my cell phone, late night when you need my love
              Eb                              F
Call me on my cell phone, late night when you need my love

[Chorus 2]

                 Bb                           Gm
I know when that hotline bling, that can only mean one thing
                 Eb                           F
I know when that hotline bling, that can only mean one thing

[Verse 3]

                            Bb                           Gm
Ever since I left the city, you got a reputation for yourself now
                           Eb                                       F
Everybody knows and I feel left out Girl you got me down You got me stressed out
                                   Bb
'Cause ever since I left the city, you you you started wearing
               Gm
Less and goin' out more, glasses of champagne
           Eb                                              F
Out on the dance floor, hangin' with some girls I've never seen before

[Pre-chorus 2]

                          Bb                              Gm
You used to call me on my cell phone, late night when you need my love
              Eb                              F
Call me on my cell phone, late night when you need my love
Bb
Yeah
