[Verse 1]
Dsus2 Asus2 E
We hear you're leaving, that's okay
Dsus2 Asus2 E C# B
I thought our little wild time had just begun
Dsus2 Asus2 E
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
F#m7 Asus2 B7+9
But if you have a change of heart ...
[Chorus]
E9
Rikki don't lose that number
G
You don't wanna call nobody else
A G D
Send it off in a letter to yourself
C
Rikki don't lose that number
Em
It's the only one you own
C Asus2
You might use it if you feel better
E9
When you get home
[Verse 2]

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
Dsus2 Asus2 E C# B
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
Dsus2 Asus2 E
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
F#m7 Asus2 B7+9
And you could have a change of heart
[Chorus]
E9
Rikki don't lose that number
G
You don't wanna call nobody else
A G D
Send it off in a letter to yourself
