D Gbm Bm Em
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Uhh, GI just need a minute to replenish who I am
And who I am is so dependent on exactly where we stand
BmI stand in any pose, anythin' but tippy-toes
GDon't want you to feel smaller, always taller
Now I'm a cheerleader, she a baller
The difference in height Gbmisn't aight, I left my ego at the altar
GNow every ring's a sting and everythin' I taught ya
Is comin' back around to me, just like revolvers
And every single click is just hammerin' it home
GbmWho knew Russian Roulette involved answerin' the phone?
AbmUntil my signal dwindles or my channel is in roam
EmOr my cellphone dies or it's cancer in my dome
GAnd dear nix the tone, as I pour my fucking pain out
GbmOne of your short nodes, might blow my fuckin' brains out Bm
But you ain't even pick up
EmTalkin' to myself, Bmexactly what you sick of
[Pre-Hook: Sebastian Lundberg & Lupe Fiasco]
Feeling kinda restDless
GbmDid you get my message?
It's Bmswirling around and sEmo (yeah, c'mon!)
GNo, don't tell me that you careBm (uh huh)
When I know you're standing Emthere (yeah)
I left the story of my Clife on your answering machineG (what's up? Yeah)
[Hook: Sebastian Lundberg & Lupe Fiasco]
Hello, can you hear Bmme?
Hello, are you Emthere?
HelloC, would you pick up the phone?
GHello, can you hear mBme?
Hello, are you thEmere? (yeah, are you there? Are you there? Are you there?)
HelloC, would you pick up the fuckin' phone?
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
GWe were like, if a tree falls in the forest and
No one is around, does it really make a sound?
BmThat's romantic and profound, but now
We're like lumberGjacks holdin' the axes that brung it down
So I'm now on your message, talkin' 'bout "Remember?"
GbmSilence in return, that sound like 'Timber!"
BmThere's some that can't see the forest because they're liars
EmBut I can't see the forest 'cause of the fire
GAnd in our prehistorics, the flowers was rootin' for us
GbmBrontosaurus ate the flowers, T-Rex ate the Brontosaurus
BmAnd then the T-Rex turned around and ate the florist
EmThat's why I lost my FTD endorsements
GBut that's really not important
GbmMy sadness' a snitch, my melancholy informant
BmDespair wears a wire, my longin' rappin' a song
EmMy worry is a rat, my lonely tappin' the phone
[Pre-Hook: Sebastian Lundberg & Lupe Fiasco]
GFeeling kinda restless
GbmDid you get my message?
It's Bmswirling around and soEm (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh)
DI wanna give you reasons (yeah)
GbmTell you what I'm feeling
But Bmnone of these lines are secure Em(nah)
GNo, don't tell me that you cBmare (uh huh)
When I know you're standing Emthere (yeah)
I left the story of my lCife on your answering machinGe (what else? Uh huh)
My tears run off your Bmshoes (yeah)
Like water from a Emgoose (uh)
You try to wash off all the diCrt
But your hands aren't getting cleanG
[Hook: Sebastian Lundberg & Lupe Fiasco]
Hello, can you hear Bmme?
Hello, are you Emthere?
HeCllo, would you pick up the phone?
HeGllo, can you hear mBme?
Hello, are you thEmere? (are you there? Are you there? Are you there?)
HeCllo, would you pick up the fuckin' phone?
[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
TGhe make-believers on receivers as you sit back and observe
ABms the rubber curly cord just absorbs all my words
WiEmll you collect us then connect us or neglect us on the whole?
Into the walCl, then cross the wires on the telephone poles
Then bouGnces off the towers, then up into the satellites
ThBmen falls down back to Earth to bring a broken heart back to life
HaEmppens all the time, lost an appetite and lack of sleep
ICf it's dead and flatten line, I'll leave a message at the beep
[Hook: Sebastian Lundberg & Lupe Fiasco]
HeGllo, can you hear mBme?
Hello, are you thEmere? (HCello, are you there? Yeah)
