[Verse 1]
     E                                 E
I thought I had your number but there must be some mistake
         E       A
I dialed 6 3 7 eleven eighty-eight
   E                           E
I got some geezer said his girlfriend's on the town
          E                            A               E
I said I got the wrong number and I slammed the phone down

[Verse 2]
       A                             D         A
Thot about it for a minute til the anger went away
          E                          A        E   |
I figure every dog in town is gonna have his day
    A                              D           A
I could count the teardrops or I could wonder why
         E                        A             E
Well, I used to be your lover now I don't even try

[Verse 3]
           E
It was champagne parties and sweet love scenes
          E                         A
Now it's warm beer at midnite and girlie magazines
    E
I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school
           E                               A              E
It's the kinda thing you're into when you ain't nobody's fool

[Chorus]
         A                             D             A
Got my socks in the oven somethin's growin' in the sink
          E                              A      E
I can't begin a peaceful day without a coupla drinks
       E                           D       A
Ain't had a decent meal since you made me cry
         E
Well, I used to be your lover now I don't even try

[Bridge]
    A                            B
Memories take a look at what ya done to me
 B                            A
It's gettin' so all I do is watch T.V.
 A                          D   B
Can't even prove that I'm  ali-ive

[Verse 4]
     E
I thought I had your number but there must be some mistake
         E       A
I dialed 6 3 7 eleven eighty-eight
   E
I got some geezer said his girlfriend's on the town
          E                            A               E
I said I got the wrong number and I slammed the phone down

[Chorus]
        A                           D         A
But I know the number's right and you're his girl
           E                              A          E
Though I wouldn't wanna face it for the whole wide world
               A                 D              A
If you don't come back baby, I think I'm gonna die
         E
Well, I used to be your lover, now I don't even try
         E
Well, I used to be your lover, now I don't even try
