Intro: Em - C - DEm - C - DEmAmEm
There's a man on the line, he is wasting my time,
AmB7
He calls me every day, he's got nothing to say,
EmAmEm
And at the dead of night when I turn out the light,
AmB7
The telephone rings, it's him again!
CD
I wouldn't mind if he told me,
CD
Just what the hell is going on,
CD
He like a man in a fever,
CD
I know that something is wrong,
C
He's whispering your name!
EmAmEm
There's a man on the line, and he is wasting my time,
AmB7
He calls me everyday, and he won't go away,
EmAmEm
Is he part of a plan, is he a government man?
AmB7
Well one thing is true, he's after you!
CD
He must be totally crazy,
CD
He must be out of his mind,
CD
To be in love with a lady,
CD
Ah, when that lady is mine,
CDC
He's whispering your name, whispering your name,
Chorus:]
GDGD
Tell me, tell me,
GCDCD
How many men have seen this heaven,
GCD
How many down in flames,
GCDCD
How many men are lost forever,
EmCD
How many still in chains?
CDFEm - C - D - Em - C - D - Em
Just whispering your name, whispering your name...
EmAmEm
There's a man on the line and he's still wasting my time,
AmB7
He calls me day after day and it's always the same,
EmAmEm
And at the dead of the night, when I turn out the light,
AmB7
The telephone rings, yes, it's him again;
CD
He's got me deep in suspicion,
CD
He's got me looking at you,
CD
He like a man with a mission,
CD
Ah, tell me what did you do?
CDC
He's whispering your name, whispering your name,
Chorus:]
GDGD
Tell me, tell me,
GCDCD
How many men have seen this heaven,
GCD
How many down in flames,
GCDCD
How many men are lost forever,
EmCD
How many still in chains?
CDC
Just whispering your name, whispering your name...
Outro:] (## Repeat and Fade to end ##)
