Doctor, [Em] doctor, you gotta help me, [C#m] yeah
You gotta make it [A] right for me
It [F#m] seems this other man's [B] name has been following me [C#m] around
And it [G#] just won't let me [B]
[A#] be
You see, [A] I got [E] this name and [F#m] he's got this [E] name too
I [A] know, well, they're kinda [E] close
Only a [F#m] blind [E] crazy fool [A] would think
I [G#] was him, it's [F#] like saying green [E] is blue
[B] But let me tell you, brother
Started being a bulla [D] when he made the cover of Time [D#] Magazine
[E]
[D] [A] [C#m]
[E] I was at this party [D] in the well-heeled hills
[A] Just the other [E] night
Her name was Shelley
I [D] introduced myself, she [A] just smiled [C#m] and said, [E] all right
[A] Well, we got [G#] talking [F#] and drinking [E] wine
And [A] she said she [E] liked my music, [F#] thought it [E] was fine
And she [A] said, [E] let's make [F#] love, girl, praise your mind
And [B] in the middle of the passion, I was on the borderline
[D] When she called out her name, but [D#m] it wasn't mine
[E] She called me Bruce, [G#] Bruce
I can [E] hear her calling Bruce, [A] Bruce
I can [E] hear her calling Bruce, [A] Bruce
I [A#] can hear her
[B] My name is Rick, I'm gonna stick it to your [E] back
[G#]
[D] [A] [C#m]
[E] Let's just keep walking
[D] Carrying a guitar, you [A] know I told him that [E] I play
He asked me my name, you know [D] I told him
I [A] started playing, clear [E] as day
Well, [A] he seemed [E] really, [F#] clearly, sincerely [E] impressed
And [A] as he pulled a [E] piece of paper from [F#] it, a sign [E] from his vest
He [A] said, I thought [E] Bone to [F#] Run was one of your best
[B] Aw, wait a minute, man, who do you think I am?
[D] He answered, Mr.
Strange, [D#] Dean, you're a fine man
[E] He called me Bruce, [G#] Bruce
[A] I can [C#m] hear him calling [E] Bruce, [G#]
Bruce
[A] [E] He called me Bruce, [G#]
Bruce
[A#] I can hear [B] him
My name is Richard, gonna hit you to your [E] back
[A] [C#] [E]
[A] [D]
[G] [B] [C] [E]
[F] [G#] [B] Mama called me long distance yesterday
And [D] as he got off the phone, I [D#] swear I heard her say
[E] Oh, Bruce, [G#] Bruce
[A] I can hear her [E] calling Bruce, [G#] Bruce
[A] She [E] called me Bruce, [G#] Bruce
[A] I [A#] can hear her
[B] My name is Rick, I'm gonna stick it to your [E] back
[A] Oh, [E] she called me Bruce, Bruce [A] What?
She [E] called me Bruce, Bruce
[A] [E] She called me Bruce, Bruce
