[Intro]

G A7 Bm A7

G A7

I know it's today

It's odd you should call me,

Bm A7 C A7

but then, after all, we were lovers.

[Chorus]

C Em A7

I don't wait by the phone like I used to.

C Em A7

I don't hope for kind words you might say.

You don't prey on my mind like you used to

C Am D G

but you can still ruin my day.

You can still ruin my day.

[Verse progression]

You're telling me now

you regret how we never connected.

Oh, as if you forget

that it's me you regret you rejected.

and I seldom get carried away.

No, you don't have the pull that you used to

but you can still ruin my day.

You can still ruin my day.

Love! It was lovely!

C Em Am

And it hardly hurt a bit!

G A7 Bm A7

Sounds good to me, but unfortunately

C A7

I remember it.

Now I don't use my place like I used to.

I'm not moved by your artful display.

No, you can't draw me in like you used to
