The tabs I found on guitar for this song claimed that
an F# F# goes where I put the Am Am, but I'm not sure, I thought
it sounded better with the Am Am. But yeah, please tell me what
you guys think of this. Comments to improve it will be truly
appreciated because I'm still a bit iffy about it... Cheers

E E E E
I called this number three times already today
C C
But I, I got scared, I put
G G (Am Am) E E
It back in place, (I put my phone back in place.)
E E
I still don't know if I
E E
should have called up.
C C G G(Am Am) E E
Look, just tell me why don't ya if I'm out of place.
E E E E
'Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
C C
And wish that I had
G G (Am Am) E E
never even called up this place.
E E E E
I saw you though today walk by with hippie Johnny.
C C G G (Am Am) E E
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place.

E E E E
So this phone call today conerns hippie Johnny.
C C G G (Am Am) E E
He's always stoned, he's never straight.
E E E E
I saw you today, you know, walk by with hippie Johnny.
C C G G(Am Am)E E
Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place.
E E
See he's stoned, hippie Johnny.
C C G G (Am Am) E E
Now get this, I'm straight and I want to take his place.
E E E E
Now look, I like him too, I like hippie Johnny.
C C
But I'm straight
G G (Am Am) E E
and I want to take his place.
E E
I said, I'm straight
E E
I said, I'm straight

I'm proud to say
C C G G (Am Am) E E
Well I'm straight and I want to take his place.

Now I've watched you walk around here.
I've watched you meet these
boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they're deep.
Look but, if these guys, if they're really so great,
tell me, why can't they at least take this place
and take it straight? Why always stoned,
like hippie Johnny is?
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
Oh I'm certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is.
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm
I'm straight and I want to take his place
All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?
(I'm straight!)
Tell the world now
(I'm straight!)
I said
(I'm straight!)
Yeah I'm straight and I want to take his place.
