1.                         She left without leavin' a number,

                      C                            G

    said she needed to clear her mind. 

          C                    D                   Em       

    He figured she'd gone back to Austin,

                        C                               D7

     ‘cause she talked about it all the time. 

G                            C                D

    It was almost a year before she called him up. 

G                                  C                     D

    Three rings and an answering machine is what she got. 

                    G                    Em

    If you're callin' 'bout the car, I sold it,

C                              D

    if this is Tuesday night, I'm bowlin'. 

Em                                         D

    If you've got somethin' to sell, 

                                    C                  D

    you're wastin' your time, I'm not buyin'. 

              G            C                      Em                                  C

    If it's anybody else, wait for the tone, you know what to do. 

Am F                 D      - D7          C            - G – C - G

    PS: If this is Austin,        I still love you.

2. The telephone fell to the counter,

              C                                    G

    she heard, but she couldn't believe. 

C                         D              Em       

    What kind of man would hang on that long,

C                                             D7

    what kind of love that must be?

G                               C                     D

    She waited three days, and then she tried again. 

G                                              C                    D

    She didn't know what she'd say, but she heard three rings and then.

               G                    Em

    If it's Friday night, I'm at the ball game,

            C                            - D

    and first thing Saturday,      if it don't rain,

Em                                  D

    I'm headed out to the lake 

                      C                          D

    and I'll be gone all weekend long. 

                 G                          C                      Em                 C

    But, I'll call you back when I get home on Sunday afternoon. 

Am  F                 D      - D7          G

     PS: If this is Austin,        I still love you. 

      Am                             C               Em

    This time she left her number but not another word,

                    Cm                 

    then she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin',

D                                  D7

    and this is what he heard.

                   G                    Em

    If you're callin' bout my heart, it's still yours,

C                                 D

    I should've listened to it a little more. 

Em                                   D

    Then, it wouldn't have taken me so long 

            C             D

    to know where I belong. 

            G                       - C                      Em                     C

    And by the way, boy,     this is no machine your talkin' to,

Am                F               D      - D7                  C      G

     can't you tell, this is Austin,        and I still love you. 

   C       G            - C - G

    I still love you.
