Intro: 
D C D G 
 
 
Verse 1: 
C                  C2 
Hey its me, what a big surprise, 
C                     C2                   G    G4 G 
Calling you up from a restaurant round the bend 
C                C2 
Just got in from way up north 
C                     C2                G      G4 G 
Aching and tired now, and I could use a friend 
           Bm                     C               D     D2 D 
Might be a fool to think that you do wanna see me again 
 
Verse 2: 
 
I know its been a while since I talked to you 
Nothing wrong, it's just nothing ever goes as planned 
Many times I thought I'd call 
Didn't have your number in my hand 
I know its true, you'd never do the same thing to me 
 
Chorus: 
D       D2                G   G4 G 
I never meant to make you cry 
             G4  G         C    C2 C 
And though I know I shouldn't call 
        C2         C      Am 
It just reminds us of the cost 
                        D 
Oh, of everything we've lost 
                  G    G4 G 
Bad timing that's all. 
          G4                G   G4 G 
And maybe soon there'll come a day 
             G4      C    C2 C 
When no more tears will fall 
        C2               Am 
We each forgive a little bit, 
                          D 
Then we both look back on it 
                          G    G4 G 
As just bad timing that's all. 
 
(Instrumental Verse) 
 
Verse 3: 
Used to have so many plans 
Something always seemed to turn out wrong. 
Never could catch up to you 
Many on and doing all you've done 
I don't know why, the harder I try, the harder it comes 
 
(Chorus)
