[Intro]
Em Am F             C
       Don't call tonight

Don’t call tonight,
              G
don't call tonight

[Verse 1]
Em
I can't believe all the
  Am              F
 things that you said
   C
To me tonight, to me
                  G
 tonight, to me tonight
Em           Am
Stars are descending,
                     F
 the street signs go by
         C
A lonely ride, I need
                  G
to cry to feel alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
  You pull me close
              C
and knock me down
                         G
Then I beg to come back around
I’m so addicted to
      F
 your lies, oh
Dm
  And in the mirror
        C
 I get weak
At the girl staring
         G
back at me

They're your eyes,
  G
 they're your eyes

[Chorus]
             F        G
Don't call tonight, unless
           Am
you wanna hurt me
             F
Don't call tonight,
       G               C
 it's not because you care
             F
Don't call tonight,
  G               Am
tomorrow you'll desert mе
           Dm
I can hear everythin’
        C           G
 you’rе saying from here

[Post-Chorus]
             G
Don't call tonight,
don’t call tonight

[Verse 2]
F        Em          Am
Saturday morning, my head
       F
is on fire
             C
It's hard to blame you for
                         G
 your crimes when I have mine
F          Em
The sun is rising,
           Am     F
 but we're out of light
             C
We twist the knife too
                       G
many times to say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
  You pull me close
              C
and knock me down
Then I beg to come
        G
back around
I’m so addicted to
      F
your lies, oh
Dm
  And in the mirror
       C
I get weak

At the girl staring
         G
 back at me
                   G
They're your eyes, they're
your eyes

[Chorus]
             F        G
Don't call tonight, unless
           Am
 you wanna hurt me
             F
Don't call tonight,
       G               C
 it's not because you care
             F        G
Don't call tonight, tomorrow
         Am
 you'll desert mе
           Dm
I can hear everythin’
        C           G
you’rе saying from here

[Post-Chorus]
             G
Don't call tonight,
don’t call tonight
             Am           F
Don't call tonight, oh oh oh
             C
Don't call tonight,
 don't call tonight,
             G
don't call tonight

[Bridge]
Am
Drivin' home to your
favorite song
        G
And you scream so loud,
'cause you're all alone
         F
And your heart beats fast
'cause you're in the zone
        Dm
And you know you're right
 where you belong, and
Am
Drivin' home to your
favorite song
        G
And you scream so loud,
'cause you're all alone
         F
And your heart beats fast
 'cause you're in the zone
             Dm
And then you hear the phone

[Chorus]
             F
Don't call tonight,
    G              Am
unless you wanna hurt me
             F
Don't call tonight,
      G               C
 it's not because you care
             F
Don't call tonight,
   G               Am
 tomorrow you'll desert mе
           Dm
I can hear everythin’
        C           G
you’rе saying from here
(don't call tonight)
             F
Don't call tonight,
   G              Am
 unless you wanna hurt me
             F
Don't call tonight,
       G               C
 it's not because you care
             F
Don't call tonight,
    G               Am
tomorrow you'll desert mе
           Dm
I can hear everythin’
        C           G
you’rе saying from here

[Post-Chorus]
Don't call tonight,
 don't call tonight,
             F
 don't call tonight
    Am F
Ooh-oh
             C
Don't call tonight,
 don't call tonight,
              G
don't call tonight
             F
Don't call tonight,
           Am
yeah-oh-oh
             C
Don't call tonight,
 don't call tonight,
                G
