The Answering Machine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We flew here to see you
My feelings and I
[C]I looked down on the [G]city
[C]From up [G]in the sky
The sun [C]was re[G]flecting
From the [C]roofs and the [G]water
[C]Spring had come [G]early
[C]In the parks and the [G]old town
I [C]came with a mission
[Bb]To patch[F] up a drea[Bb]m
[Dm]We walked and I talk[G]ed and my
words [C]were absorbed
[G]Into the answering ma[C]chine
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
I came two thousand miles
Just to [C]take a look [G]at you
But you were [C]broken and [G]frozen
A heart[C]break [G]of a statue
In the [C]bullet- proof mirrors
[Bb]Where your eyes [F]used to be[Bb]
[Dm]I stared at myself[G] and I
called for some help
[C]In [G]to[C][G][F][C]
[G]the answering machi[C]ne[Bb]
[C][Bb][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]The[Dm] day slip[Bb]ped
by and I tried and tried
You took me home and you [C]said
"Good[F]night, Sleep [Bb]tight"
On the floor by the bedroom door
I watched you sleep and I [G]left be
[F]fore first [Dm]light[D][Am]
[C]The bugs don't

[Verse 4]
[Dm]bite[D][F]
[D]The bugs don't [F]bite
The bugs [Dm]bite[Am][C]
[G]

[Verse 5]
From the land of the frozen
To the [C]land of the [G]low
We [C]journeyed to[G]gether
But we were [C]always [G]alone
So if [C]I should come calling
[Bb]Best not [F]pick up the [Bb]phone
[Dm]Cause I'm no g[D]ood for you[G]
and you're no good for [F]me
[C]Let me [G]talk to the answering machine
[C]I can c[G]ope with the answering machine
[C]I'm a fri[G]end of thean[C][G][C][G][C][G]
[C]swer[G][C]
[G][C][G][C][G][F]
