Dm        Bb      C           F
This circus is falling down on its knees
    Dm         Bb         C     Am7
The big top is crumbling down
     Bb         C         Dm          F
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
          Dm         Bb        C
Where you should be, no one's around


[Chorus]
         Bb         F
I need a phone call
         Bb         F
I need a raincoat
         Bb         F
I need a big love
         Bb         F
I need a phone call


[Verse 2]
      Dm          Bb          C          F
These train conversations are passing me by
    Dm           Bb         C    Am7
And I don't have nothing to say
    Dm           Bb
You get what you pay for
    C          F  Dm           Bb          C
But I just had no intention of living this way


[Chorus]
         Bb
I need a phone call
         F
I need a plane ride
         Bb
I need a sunburn
         F
I need a raincoat


[Bridge]
C            Bb
And I get no answers
C                  Bb
And I don't get no change
C               Bb
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
C                          Bb
But everything else is the same


[Verse 3]
        Dm       Bb           C        F
There's things I remember and things I forget
  Dm        Bb           C
I miss you, I guess that I should
Dm             Bb           C      F
Three thousand five hundred miles away
    Dm             Bb            C
But what would you change if you could?


[Chorus]
(same as first)

I need a phone call   Maybe I should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train   If I listen real hard
And I wish it was a small world
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down
