Intro:
Gmaj7 Fmaj7 (x2)
Verse 1:
[Gmaj7]A little while ago I [Fmaj7]went and placed a call
[Gmaj7]To tell this girl I know that [Fmaj7]she could have it all
The [Cmaj7]wedding ring, the [Am]whole dumb thing I was [F]willing to tie the [G]knot
So I [Fmaj7]called her up, and this is the answer I [Gmaj7]got...
CHORUS:
[G]I'm so sorry you have just reached my [Am7]answering machine
[D7]I'm not in at present, I'm sure you [G]know this whole routine
[F]Leave your name and [C]number and I'll [Bb]try to get back to [G]you
You have [F7]thirty seconds to talk to me before you're [G]through
Post-chorus 1:
And I said, "[Bbmaj7]Baby let's go get married! I [Eb]need to know you're mine!
I am [Cm7]hangin' on, I am hangin' on, I am [Bbmaj7]hangin' on this line
And if [Fm]I can leave one [Bb]message be[Eb]fore you go to bed
I would [Cm7]say to you." ([F]BEEP!) and the phone went [Gmaj7]dead[Fmaj7] [Gmaj7]
Verse 2:
So I stepped out to buy some dog food for the cat
Of course she called about three minutes after that
Will she be my wife and share my life, well of course you can write the plot
'Cause she called me up, and this is the answer she got -
(Chorus)
Post-chorus 2:
And she said, "Baby I got your message, well I'm answering your call
I have thought it out, I have thought it out and I think that all in all
If you ask if we can marry, and make if for all time
Then my answer is," (BEEP) and the phone went -
[G]I'm so sorry you have just reached my [Am7]answering machine
[D7]I'm not in at present, I'm sure you [G]know this whole routine (repeat till end)
