[Verse 1]
     Dm        Bb      C           F
This circus is falling down on its knees
    Dm         Bb         C
The big top is crumbling down
     Dm        Bb         C           F
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
          Dm         Bb        C
Where you should be, no one's around
 
 
[Chorus]
         Bb         F
I need a phone call
         Bb         F
I need a raincoat
         Bb         F
I need a big love
         Bb         F
I need a phone call
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Dm          Bb          C          F
These train conversations are passing me by
    Dm           Bb         C
And I don't have nothing to say
    Dm           Bb
You get what you pay for
    C          F  Dm           Bb          C
But I just had no intention of living this way
 
 
[Chorus]
         Bb         F
I need a phone call
         Bb         F
I need a plane ride
         Bb         F
I need a sunburn
         Bb         F
I need a raincoat
 
 
[Bridge]
C            Bb
And I get no answers
C                  F
And I don't get no change
C               Bb
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
C                          F
But everything else is the same
 
 
[Verse 3]
        Dm       Bb           C        F
There's things I remember and things I forget
  Dm        Bb           C
I miss you, I guess that I should
Dm             Bb           C      F
Three thousand five hundred miles away
    Dm             Bb            C
But what would you change if you could?
 
 
[Chorus]
         Bb         F
I need a phone call
         Bb              F
Maybe I should buy a new car
         Bb                 F
I can always hear a freight train
            Bb         F
If I listen real hard
           Bb                   F
And I wish it was a small world
            Bb                      F
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
                   Bb         F
I'd like to hear a little guitar
                           Bb         F
I think it's time to put the top down
 
         Bb         F
I need a phone call
         Bb         F
I need a raincoat
         Bb         F
I really need a raincoat
         Bb         F
I really really really need a raincoat
         Bb         F
I really really really need a raincoat

The Am7 should be F, and sometimes not even there at all.

There's no AM7 at all in this song...

I agree with the F and not Am7 above. I play this tuned down a step and with the chords: Em, C, D, G (verse) C, G (chorus) D, C, G (bridge) ..and it, the G in verse, sounds good. Thus, it'd be an F in std tuning. Note: I normally don't tune down a whole step and use 1/2 step down (but still play the easier chords listed above. i cheat a little and play up on the neck where the tone is lowered a bit than if over the sound hole. lazy? maybe, but I think it sounds nicer than using loose strings for this song).
