C G
She left without leaving a number,
C G
Said she needed to clear her mind.
C D Em
He figured she’d gone back to Austin,
C D
‘Cause she talked about it all the time.
G/B C D
It was almost a year, before she called him up.
G/B C
Three rings and an answering machine,
Dsus4 D
Is what she got:
G Em
If you’re calling ’bout the car, I sold it.
C Dsus4 D
If this is Tuesday night, I’m bowling.
Em G C
If you’ve got something to sell, you’re wastin’ your time,
Dsus4 D
I’m not buyin’.
G Am7 G
If its anybody else, wait for the tone,
C
You know what to do.
Am F Dsus4 D
And P.S, if this is Austin…
C G C G
I still love you.
C G
The telephone fell to the counter.
C G
She’d heard, but she couldn’t believe.
C D Em
What kind of man would hang on that long,
C D
What kind of love that must be.
G/B C D
She waited three days, and then she tried again.
G/B C
She didn’t know what she’d say,
Dsus4 D
But she heard three rings and then:
G Em
If it’s Friday night, I’m at the ballgame,
C Dsus4 D
And first thing Saturday, if it don’t rain.
Em G C Dsus4 D
I’m headed out to the lake, and I’ll be gone all weekend long.
G Am
But I’ll call you back when I get home
G C
On Sunday afternoon.
Am F Dsus4 D
And P.S, if this is Austin…
G
I still love you.
Am
Well this time she left her number,
Em
But not another word.
Eb
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evening,
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
And this is what he heard:
Aadd9 F#m
If you’re calling ’bout my heart,
Its still yours.
D Esus4 E
I should listen to it a little more.
F#m E D
Then it wouldn’t have taken me so long
E
To know, where I belong.
A B A D
And by the way boy, this is no machine you’re talkin’ to.
Bm G Esus4 E
Can’t you tell that this is Austin…
D A D A
And I still love you.
D A D A
I still love you….
