Intro: 
 C B Bb     A  3x  

verse 1 
A  
She was kicking down the fence 
D                  A   E 
Trying to hide the evidence 
A  
That would give her game away 
D                     A        E 
But everything was as clear as day 
  G               D       C 
I knew she had no more to give 
    G          D         A 
She hated everything she did 
    G                D        C 
And I could feel her restless mind 
G               C              D   C         D 
Calling out for love at crying time,  crying time 

verse 2 
A 
All those days that seemed like years 
D                      A   E 
The silence roaring in our ears 
A 
Then at night a ticking sound 
D                        A    E 
The timebomb of the life we'd found 
  G                     D        C 
I watched her leave, my heart in flames 
G                       D      A 
Fanned by all her other lovers names 
    G               D        C 
And I could feel my restless mind 
G               C              D   C         D 
Calling out for love at crying time,  crying time 

verse 3 
A 
Whisky, wine and cheap perfume 
D                          A     E 
All those crowded bars and hotel rooms 
A 
Exotic rhythms to embrace 
D                   A      E 
But everywhere is a lonely place 
  G                     D        C 
And so down and down and down I go 
G                           D          A 
But where I'm going, well I sure don't know 
    G               D        C 
And I could feel my restless mind 
G               C              D   C         D 
Calling out for love at crying time,  crying time 
G               C              D   C         D 
You'll be calling out for love at crying time, crying time ... 
N.C. 
Whisky, wine and cheap perfume ... 
N.C. 
And so down and down and down I go ...  (vamp out)
