F#m          D     Bm       Em        F#m
The mirror's image tells me it's home time
F#m          D          Bm               Em
But I'm not finished   'cause you're not by my side
F#m       D
And as I arrived I thought
           Bm       Em             F#m
I saw you leaving, carrying your shoes
F#m          D
Decided that once again
            Bm           Em           F#m
I was just dreaming  of bumping into you

F#m        D                Bm
Now it's three in the morning
         Em                    F#m
And I'm trying to change your mind
F#m       D               Bm
Left you multiple missed calls
Bm         Em            F#m
And to my message, you reply

Chorus:
F#m D                               Bm Em
Why'd you only call me when you're high?
F#m     D                                 Bm  Em
High, why'd you only call me when you're high?

Somewhere darker, talkin' the same shite
I need a partner, well are you out tonight?
It's harder and harder to get you to listen
More I get through the gears
Incapable of makin' alright decisions
And having bad ideas

Now, it's three in the mornin'
And I'm tryna' change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply
(Message, you reply)

Chorus:
"Why'd you only call me when you're high?"
(Why'd you only call me when you're)
"High, why'd you only call me when you're high?"

And I can't see you here, wonder where I might
It sort of feels like I'm runnin' out of time
I haven't found all I was hopin' to find
You said you got to be up in the mornin'
Gonna have an early night
And you're startin' to bore me, baby
"Why'd you only call me when you're high?"

"Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?"
"Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?"
"Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?"
"Why'd you only ever phone me when you're (high)?"
