Full Song

Verse 1

E

Hello, it’s me

C#m A E

I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet

E

To go over everything

C#m A E

They say that time’s supposed to heal ya, but I ain’t done much healing

Verse 2

E

Hello, can you hear me?

C#m A E

I’m in California dreaming about who we used to be

E

When we were younger and free

C#m A E

I’ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

Chorus

C#m

There’s such a difference between us

A

And a million miles

E

Hello from the other side

C#m

I must’ve called a thousand times

A E

To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done

C#m A

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Verse 3

E

Hello, how are you?

C#m A E

It’s so typical of me to talk about myself, I’m sorry

E

I hope that you’re well

C#m A E

Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

Chorus

C#m

It’s no secret that the both of us

A

Are running out of time

E

So hello from the other side

C#m

I must’ve called a thousand times

A E

To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done

C#m A

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Bridge

A E

Hello from the outside

C#m A

At least I can say that I’ve tried

E B

To tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heart

A E C#m

But it don’t matter, it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore

Chorus

E

Hello from the other side

C#m

I must’ve called a thousand times

A E

To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done

C#m A

But when I call, you never seem to be home

E

Hello from the other side

C#m

I must’ve called a thousand times

A E

To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done

C#m A

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Practice tip: Master the C#m to A transition, as it’s the most common change in the song, and strum slowly to match the song’s emotional pace.
