Verse: 
D              A               E   F#m 
The city stays hight all night 
D                            A                          E  F#m 
Lit up and shivering like a pinball table of fireflies 
D           A                        E  F#m 
An echo of home, on the edge of life 
D                            A                          E  F#m 
Shot through the veins of an angel I'm a devil in exile 


Bm                 D                           F#m 
But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue 
                       E                               Bm 
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done? 
Bm                 D                           F#m 
And if you can't remember the place you call a home 
                  E 
Or having trouble placing 
                     B 
Who's calling on the phone? 
                     Dbm 
Who's calling on the phone? 



Verse: 
D                   A                       E  F#m  
Dip the nose in the car to the sugar lines 
D                        A                            E  F#m 
Out to the desert under cinnamon hills and moonshine 
D                    A                       E  F#m 
He said: "what can I do to make you mine?" 
D                          A                            E  F#m 
Kiss out the twang from my lips on the way to big-time 


Bm                 D                           F#m 
But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue 
                       E                               Bm 
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done? 
Bm                 D                           F#m 
And if you can't remember the place you call a home 
                  E 
Or having trouble placing 
                     B 
Who's calling on the phone? 
                     Dbm 
Who's calling on the phone?
