[Verses]
G                           Em
You can tell Gayle, if she calls,
           C                          D 
that I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.
G                    Em  C                         D
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.
              Em            D           C             G
When we were kids on the field of the first day of school.
Em          D         C
I would've been her fool.
      Em            D                      C               G
And I would've sang out your name in those old high school halls.
G                D             G     Em  C  D 
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.

G                              Em
 And you can tell Jane, if she writes, 
         C                                       D                      
that I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.
G                  Em  C                           D  
 That's total deceit,    but she should've married me.
    Em               D                 C            G
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor, 
Em                D         C
bleeding out from all these wounds.
  Em                    D                C           G
I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.
G                D             G       G
You tell that to Janey, if she writes.

    Em           C        G                D
But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
          Em         C           G     D   
that will cut you to ribbons sometimes.
    Em          C          G           D
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
    Em            C        G   D            Em   
and bleed if it's what she says  you oughta do.

  You remind Anna, if she asks why,
       C                                  D 
that a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.
G                                      Em
  heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool,
     C                                 D 
goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.
      Em                  D           C               G
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,
Em                D              C
praying she won't cancel again tonight.
        Em               D             C           G
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.
G          D                  G  G  
You remind Anna, if she asks why.

            Tell her it’s alright
Em Em C C D               D                   Em
            You-know-it's-hard to tell you this.
