[D] [A]
[B] [F#]
[A] Telephone rings me in the morning, I get up to answer the call
[G] So I think I'll go [D] back to [A] the family, [D] where no one can ring [A] me at all
Living this life has its problems, so I think that I'll give it a break
[G] So I'm going [D] back [A] to the family, [G] cause I've had [D] about all [A] I can take
