Verse:
D A E F#m
The city stays hight all night
D A E F#m
Lit up and shivering like a pinball table of fireflies

An echo of home, on the edge of life

Shot through the veins of an angel I'm a devil in exile
Chorus:
Bm D F#m
But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
E Bm
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done?
Bm D F#m
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
E
Or having trouble placing
B
Who's calling on the phone?
Dbm
Who's calling on the phone?

Kiss out the twang from my lips on the way to big-time

Who's calling on the phone?

Who's calling on the phone?
