[Verse 1]
          G                        C
Tangled in the sheets of a motel bed
  G                          C
Samantha paints her toenails cherry red
         Bm                Em              
And she asks me if she can paint mine too, and I say
Am     G/B  C            D
"Samantha, anything for you."
      G                        C
And through the tinny speakers of an ancient radio
      G                  C
The All Night Love Line begins another show
          Bm                        Em
And the callers call in, but the thing that's so strange
      Am           G/B               C            C/D
It's all the same story, just the voices that change on

[Chorus]
     G           D/F#    Em      G/D
Beau's All Night Radio Love Line
      C        G/B      Am    D
The show for hearts in despair
               G        D/F#     Em            G/D
If you got somethin' to say to a love that got away
   C           D              G
Beau wants to put you on the air

[Instrumental]
C G C

[Verse 2]
      G                            C
The shadows from the headlights of a passing car
 G                    C
Turn Samantha's smile into film noir
         Bm                       Em
And she says, "Don't get me wrong about you and me
         Am         G/B       C                D
I just can't figure out what we're supposed to be
   G               C
"Maybe I love you, I don't know
   G                  C
Maybe I'm afraid of where you want to go
   Bm                         Em
Maybe I'm scared I'll lose my power to amuse
           Am    G/B         C            C/D
And I'll wake up alone in a bed full of blues, just listening to

[Chorus]
  G              D/F#   Em       G/D
Beau's All Night Radio Love Line
      C      G/B         Am    D
The show for hearts in despair
               G        D/F#       Em            G/D
If you got somethin' to say to a love that got away
   C           D              G
Beau wants to put you on the air

[Bridge]
        Am                            D
And Beau's really thinkin', "This job hardly pays,"
        Am                       D        D/D#
But he can't figure out how to ask for a raise
    Em    G/D         C       G/B
Meanwhile back on the Love Line, he says
   Am          G/B   C            C/D
"You're on the air, caller number nine."

[Verse 3]
     G                   C
Samantha laughs at the two of us here
      G                                        C
And says, "I got some miles on me, and you're such a kid, dear
   Bm                        Em
To you I'm just a ride in an old Cadillac
    Am         G/B                C            C/D
But I keep on prayin' that you'll keep coming back."

Is that Samantha cryin'? Or just somebody on


[Chorus]
     G              D/F#    Em      G/D
Beau's All Night Radio Love Line
      C       G/B        Am    D
The show for hearts in despair
               G        D/F#       Em           G/D
If you got somethin' to say to a love that got away
   C           C/D              G
Beau wants to put you on the air

[Outro]
               G        D/F#       Em           G/D
If you got somethin' to say to a love that got away
   C           C/D              G
Beau wants to put you on the air
