| Verse 1 | |
| D a d | |
| Someone called me from across the ocean | |

| To find a weak link in my devotion | |
| D a d | |
| They can shoot hot knives a' down the line | |
| A g | |
| I just slam it down every time | |
| Chorus 1 | |
| F#m g d | |
| I got the telephone jammed in my ear | |
| A g | |
| They're still talking but i don't hear | |

| Verse 2 | |
| D a d | |
| I cam't swear we'll never get caught | |
| A g | |

| D a d | |
| But we can't give in to every whim and fancy | |
| A g | |
| Coming to crunches is always chancey | |
