[Intro]

C Am

[Verse]

When you answered the phone last month

I knew you thought it was a big mistake

You said the week in New York had been fun

But I could hear your voice shake

You see I didn't mean to upset you

When I said the dogwoods were in bloom

Or that I was still missing you

[Chorus]

C Am F

When you wake up in Dallas

Dm G C

You can call me back if you want to

I miss your skin, I miss your touch

You're the only one I've ever loved

Baby I'll let you go

But that's what you need to know

C Am

When you wake up

[Verse]

I know I'm leaving sort of a long message

But I still got some things to say

I know you're out there searching for yourself

But you never really walked away

I don't know where you are

Or if you'll ever find what you need to

But come home when you do

[Chorus]

C Am F

When you wake up in Boulder

Dm G C

You can call me back if you want to

I miss your voice, I miss your laugh

You're the best thing that I've ever had

Darling I'll let you go

But that's what you need to know

[Bridge]

Em F

When you wake up no matter where it is

Desert sand or mountain high

Just say the word, and I'll be there by the night

[Chorus]

C Am F

When you wake up in Phoenix

Dm G C

You can call me back if you want to

I miss your love, I miss your heart

I miss everything that you are

Baby I won't let go

That's what you need to know

C Am

When you wake up, when you wake up

[Outro]
