Verse 1
This here, is the place where I will be staying,
C Cadd9 * Cmaj7 C F
There isn't a number,
You can call the pay-phone,
C C Cadd9 * Cmaj7 C F
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time,
If I don't pick-up, ...hang up, ...call back,
C F C C Cadd9 * Cmaj7 C
Let it ring some more! Oh----!
If I don't pick-up, ...pick-up,
The sidewinder sleep, sleep, sleeps in a coil!

Verse 2
There are scratches all around the coin slot,
C C Cadd9 * Cmaj7 C F
Like a heartbeat, baby, try - ing to wake up,
But this machine can only swallow money,
You can't lay a patch by com - puter design,
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs,
F C C Cadd9 * Cmaj7 C
Tell her-------,
Tell---- her she can kiss my ass, then laugh,

And say that you were only kidding,
That way, she'll know that it's really, really,
Really, really me, ...me!

Some Nescafe and ice,
A candy bar, a fallen star,
Or a reading from Doctor Suess!

Bridge
The Cat in the Hat came back,
Wreaked a lot of havoc on the way,
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend,
But their world ...has flat backgrounds,
And little need to sleep,
But to dream the sidewinder sleeps on his back

=====================================================
For the chord box diagrams to better match my
suggested choices you need to manually select
the following options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows beneath each diagram
D/F# <3 of 20> Cadd9 <2 of 10>
G <2 of 27> G/B <2 of 21>
All the other chord boxes should be the default
first option and don't need reselecting
