I said it was wonderful
    C                 G
To hear you on the phone
G                Em
You say it's no substitute
    C                 G
For the 2 of us alone
G                Em
I always see the plentitude
    C                 G
Where I guess you feel that lack
      G              C
The iceman says 'get out of here man
