Intro 
               A                Amaj7   Amaj7 
Don't call me "darlin'," cause it means 
F#m                    D       Esus      E6          Eadd9   E7 
Something different to me than what you intend it to be 



               A                        Amaj7    Amaj7 
Don't call me "darling," it just gets me stressed 
F#m 
I know it's just your way of friendly talk 
D                               E 
But I still have to walk alone again 
Esus          E6      Eadd9   E7 
Till I float away depressed 



Bm 
Cause I'm not your darling and I wish it were so 
F#m                                         D 
That endearing term that you like to throw around 
                                            E 
When it's said to me, knocks me to the ground 
Bm 
Yeah, back to the dust from whence I came 
F#m 
That throwaway line, I wish I were mine 
        D                                     E 
But to you it's nothing more than a playful name 
Esus          E6      Eadd9   E7 
Hey, yeah 



               A                          Amaj7   Amaj7 
Don't call me "darling," we're beyond that stage 
F#m 
Of risking more domestic strife 
D 
Stuck in a book that we call life and 

Esus     E6      Eadd9   E7 
We can't turn the page 
               A                             Amaj7    Amaj7 
Don't call me "darling," please don't play that game 
F#m 
Cause I've put too many miles on 
     D 
That broken heart shaped tire pile 

  Esus        E6   Eadd9   E7 
To change my lane again 



    Bm 
Now calling out your sobriquet 
     F#m 
Might be a breach of etiquette 
    D                              E 
But I know how you treasure honesty 

Bm 
Yet would our friendship still be strong 
F#m 
If I confess what I've felt so long 
    D                                          E 
And you would bless the pleasure of our company 

Esus        E6   Eadd9   E7 
Hey, yeah 


Outro 

               A             Amaj7   Amaj7 
Don't call me "darling," my words stumble along 
F#m 
Cause I might call you "darling" back 
D                                E 
And I couldn't handle all the flack 
Esus   E6    Eadd9        E7 
If my answer turns out wrong 

              A                    Amaj7    A7 
Don't call me darling, it just reminds me 
D                             E 
Of what is and what can never be 

Esus        E6   Eadd9   E7 
Hey, yeah 
                        A 
Don't call me "darling"
