[Verse 1]
 
E                           A            B
You only call me if you're feeling blue.
E                          A             B
You tell me I don't pay attention to you.
E                   C#m
But if you only knew just what I'm going through,
A                                  B
You wouldn't phone those guys who mess around with you, girl.
E                       A            B
When I call you I get stacks of lies.
E                             A            B
You whip them out before you dry your eyes.
E                      C#m
I'm not a fruit machine, a nineteen-sixties dream.
A                            B
I bring the bet you list I bet you've ever seen girl
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F#m                  F#m
You're not unreadable, you're not unbeatable.
A                         B
I know just what you are.  Don't push your luck too far.
C#m                   F#m
You're not untouchable, not just another girl.
A                             B
I'd get in touch with you, I only wish you knew that
E                      A             B          E
I've got your number written on the back of my hand.
                       A             B          E
I've got your number written on the back of my hand.
                       A             B          E
I've got your number written on the back of my hand.
                      A  B   E
I've got your number.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E                   A        B
I had a dream I had another girl
E                   A         B
But in the morning she was just a kick inside
E                               C#m
I hope I'm getting through the interference to
F#m                     A                         B
My money's running out, I don't know what to say now.
E                      A         B
The operator's saying cut the line
E                      A                 B
You want to call here for the very last time.
E                            C#m
You're only young at heart, but there's a time to start
F#m                           A          B
Just realizing what I've got down here, girl.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m                  F#m
You're not unreadable, you're not unbeatable.
A                         B
I know just what you are.  Don't push your luck too far.
C#m                   F#m
You're not untouchable, not just another girl.
A                             B
I'd get in touch with you, I only wish you knew that
E                      A             B          E
I've got your number written on the back of my hand.
                       A             B          E
I've got your number written on the back of my hand.
                       A             B          E
I've got your number written on the back of my hand.
                      A  B   E
I've got your number.
