Dm        B      C           Am7
1. This circus is falling down on its knees
       Dm         F         C  Am7
   The big top is crumbling down
        Dm         B        C           Am7
   It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
             Dm         B        C   Am7
   Where you should be, no one's around

            B       F
R: I need a phone call
            B     F
   I need a raincoat
            B     F
   I need a big love
            B       F
   I need a phone call


2. These train conversations are passing me by
   And I don't have nothing to say
   You get what you pay for
   But I just had no intention of living this way

R: I need a phone call
   I need a plane ride
   I need a sunburn
   I need a raincoat

   C            B
   And I get no answers
   C                  B
   And I don't get no change
   C               B         F
   It's raining in Baltimore, baby
   C              F           C
   But everything else is the same


3. There's things I remember and things I forget
   I miss you I guess that I should
   Three thousand five hundred miles away
   But what would you change if you could?

   I need a phone call   
   Maybe I should buy a new car
   I can always hear a freight train   
   If I listen real hard
   And I wish it was a small world
   Because I'm lonely for the big towns
   I'd like to hear a little guitar
   I think it's time to put the top down

R: I need a phone call
   I need a raincoat
