[Intro 1]
[Em][C][D][Em][C][D]

[Verse 1]
There's a [Em]man on the line,
he is [Am]wasting my time
[Em]He calls me ever[Am]yday,
he's got [B]nothing to say
And at the [Em]dead of night,
when I [Am]turn out the [Em]light
The [Am]telephone rings, it's [B]him again

[Verse 2]
[C]I wouldn't mind if he told me[D]
[C]Just what the hell is going on[D]
[C]He like a man in a f[D]ever
[C]I know that something is [D]wrong
He's whispering [Em]your name

[Verse 3]
There's a [Em]man on the line
and he is [Am]wasting my time
[Em]He calls me ever[Am]yday,
and he [B]won't go away
Is he [Em]part of a plan,
is he a gov[Am]ernment [Em]man
Well [Am]one thing is true, he's a[B]fter you

[Verse 4]
[C]He must be totally cra[D]zy
[C]He must be out of his min[D]d
[C]To be in love with a lad[D]y
[C]Ah, when that lady is min[D]e
He's whispering [C]your name,
[D]whispering you[C]r nam[D]e

[Verse 5]
Tell me, tell me
[G]How many [C]men have [D]seen this heaven?
[G]How many [C]down [D]in flames?
[G]How many [C]men [D]are lost forever?
[Em]How many s[C]till in chains[D]?
Just whispering [C]your name,
[D]whispering you[F]r name

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][D][Em][C][D][Em]

[Verse 6]
There's a [Em]man on the line and
he's still [Am]wasting my time
[Em]He calls me day [Am]after day and
it's [B]always the same
And at the [Em]dead of the night
When I [Am]turn out the [Em]light
The [Am]telephone rings, yes, it's [B]him again

[Verse 7]
[C]He's got me deep in suspicio[D]n
[C]He's got me looking at you[D]
[C]He like a man with a missio[D]n[C]
Ah,tell me what did you [D]do?
He's whispering [C]your name,
[D]whispering you[C]r name
[D]Tell me, tell me

[Verse 8]
[G]How many [C]men have [D]seen this heaven
[G]How many [C]down in [D]flames
[G]How many [C]men [D]are lost forever
[Em]How many s[C]till in [D]chains?
Just whispering [C]your name,
[D]whispering you[C]r nam[D]e

[Verse 9]
Oh, there's a [Em]man on the
[C]line[D][Em]
There's a man on [C]the [D]line
There's a [Em]man on the l[C]ine
[D]Whispering [Em]your name
There's a man on [C]the line[D]

[Verse 10]
There's a [Em]man on the l[C]ine
[D]Whispering your [Em]name
There's a man on the [C]line[D]
There's a [Em]man on the l[C]ine
(man on the [D]line)
Whispering your [Em]name

[Verse 11]
There's a man on the [C]line[D]
There's a [Em]man on the l[C]ine
[D]Whispering your [Em]name
There's a man on the [C]line[D]
There's a [Em]man on the l[C]ine
[D]Whispering your

There's a man on [C]the line[D]
There's a [Em]man on the l[C]ine
