_ I'll _ _ _ [E] call _ _ _ this number three _ _ _ _ times today, but then _ [C] I'll _ _ [D] put the [G] phone _ _ [A] back in [Em] _ place.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ I still don't know if I _ _ _ should have called.
Well, _ [C] _ _
tell me, dear, am [Gm] I [E]
out of _ place? _ _
Yes, here's your chance to make me awkward _ [Em] and wish that I _ [C] _ _ _ _
had never _ _ [Am] called this [E] _ place.
_ [A] But you [E]
walked by your college [A] dorm [E] with _ _ hippie Ernie. _
I'm calling to [C] say I [G] could [A] take this [E] _ place. _
This phone call today _ [B] concerns [E] _ _ hippie _ Ernie, his Woodstock [C] _
brain, _ and his _ [Ab] acid [E]
face.
_ Yeah, you walked by the computer center with a _ _ spineless [B] Ernie.
I [E] _ telephoned [C] to say I could [D] easily take his [E] place.
_ _ He's a hippie, _ _ _ _ hippie Ernie.
_ _ _ _ I'm straight [C] and I want _ [D] to [A] take his [E] place.
_ Hey, where's his _ blackboard?
_ _ _ Hippie Ernie, huh?
_ _ I'm trying to make mine [C] straight.
I could [G] really [A] take his [E] place, because I'm straight.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] I'm straight.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, I've watched you _ _ walk _ around and meet _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
boyfriends [A] that you think are [E] so deep.
_ But I maintain, if all your new boyfriends were really that great, well, [Em] couldn't they take [C] this place _ [G] and [A] take it [E] straight?
Because I'm straight. _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ I mean, [E] I'm straight. _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ And it's a [A] hard [E] fight, _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ but I'm straight and I [C]
want _ to take [E] his place.
Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I knew you for a while and I _ thought that I could bring [Ab] out _ [C] _ the nicer, the smarter [Am] things that you have [E] inside.
_ _ _ _ _ But you walked by the computer center _ with this [Em] kid that's not up to your level at all.
_ _ _ [Am] You should have me _ walking by your [E]
side.
