Thanks for calling Mister Michael 
E                    F         E     F 
But he's not feeling well 
E                   F                    E    F 
His back is aching, heart is breaking 
E                        F 
You've reached a private hell 


Bridge 

G           A         C            B 
I choose to be alone, embracing my defeat 
G                 A             C 
The game was over years ago, is victory so sweet 


Verse 

E                  F               E    F 
Thanks for calling Mister Michael

Right now he cannot speak 
E                 F                   E       F 
His empty life is past redemption 
E                   F         E    F 
His will to live is weak

There's nothing in my head, it's a rusting slipping gear 
G       A                 C              B 
My body stayed in bed but there's nobody here 


                      E         G 
Tell me, where do the years go 
C        B              E      G 
  Blink an eye and they fly 
C         B         G         A  C         B 
  I don't wanna get hurt, so     just skip hello 
       E                      G 
And go straight to goodbye 
C           B 
Straight to goodbye, goodbye

Thanks for calling Mister Michael, 
E               F 
waiting here to die 
E                        F 
Fragile Mister Lightning Bug 
E                    F 
without the wings to fly 
E               F 
Crush me for my chemicals, 
E                 F 
paint yourself to glow 
E                  F 
And watch my magic fade away, 
E                F 
so sad to see it go, go

Come on, hate me to my face

And go straight to goodbye
