One day, a man from 1970 gave me a call
C C C° B A G A G E D E G E G E
He had dirty blonde hair and compared to me, he’s pretty tall
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D D
He had lime green eyes and bigger hands I wish that I could hold
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D D
And we’d spend 8 in the evening talking on the telephone
C C C° B A G A G E D E G E G E
He’s so full of himself and he likes making sadistic jokes
C C C° B A G A G E D E G E G E
But there’s something that I’m so in love with in the way he spoke
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D D
And the way he draws, the way he sings along to his guitar
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D D B C B C D E
If only the distance between us wasn’t so that goddamn far
C D E D E D E D E D E D E G G
When I’m talking to him, that’s the happiest I’ll ever be
C D E D E D E D E D E D E A G
And he makes me feel so special, I love it whenever he
C D E D C D E D C D E D C DD
Compliments me, tries to hide the fact that he’s obsessed with me
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D C
Went through trouble sending me flowers from 1970
C C° B A G E G E D E G E D E G E
As I’m falling for him more and more, the more it’ll hurt the day he leaves
C C° B A G A G E D E G E G E
And when I hear his voice, it’s like it’s straight out of a dream
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D D
I would do things for him that completely messes my routine
C C D E D C D E D C D D
So even just for a minute, it’d feel like he’s right next to me
C C C° B A G E G E D E G E G E
I would take time out of busy days so I could hear his laugh
CC C° B A G A G E D E G E G E
Listen to his favorite songs while staring at his photograph
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D D
I needed him, I wanted him, right person but wrong time
D E D C D E D C D E D C D D
And on September 9, the telephone cord cut the line

But you said it yourself flowers from 1970 couldn’t last that long and you were my Flower
C D E D C D E D C D °B
And for one last time I said Goodbye, old man
C C D E D C D E D C C °B °B °B C D
You said You take care of those flowers, wrong number
C D E D E D E D E D E D E G G
When I’m talking to him, that’s the happiest I’ll ever be
C D E D E D E D E D E D E A G
And he makes me feel so special, I love it whenever he

Oh when I’m talking to him, that’s the happiest I’ll ever be

Asked for closure, proof that in 1970, a man
C D E D C D E D C D B
Who didn’t even exist yet had loved me
C D E D E D E D E D E D E G
You said you just can’t have your heart in 2020 with me
C D E D E D C° B A G A G E D
When your heart belongs there in 1970
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D D
Maybe in another life, we’d do the things we couldn’t do
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D C
So I’d hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you

Now my only memories of him are
handprints on the wall
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D D C
And that faded green paint, three familiar words were written under
C D E D C D E D C D E D C D
Once upon a time, same room, same house, fifty years apart
E D C D E D
We had loved each other❤️
