D    A         G
Why don't you call me
D    A    Em
Are you afraid?

Your friends all told me

It's just craziness

Ooh I need to know
            A
Where we're at
           D                   A
Wondering why you acting this way, baby
           D                       G
Wondering why you can't find any words to say
Em             D          A
Maybe someone told you a lie
    Em                G     A

Somehow you seem to care
