Maroon 5 – Payphone (ft. Wiz Khalifa)
Key: B Major BPM: ♩ = 110 Time: 4/4
         |E                 |B                   |G#m              |F#  |
I'm at a payphone trying to call home, all of my change I spent on you
              |E                      |B                       |G#m              |F#  |
Where have the times gone?, Baby, it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

     |E                              |B                         |
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember,  the people we used to be
|G#m                          |F#                               |
   It's even harder to picture,  that you're not here next to me
|E                                 |B                           |
   You say it's too late to make it,  but is it too late to try?
|G#m                               |F#                       |
   And in our time that you wasted, all of our bridges burned

|E                   |B                         |G#m                |F#   |
 down, I’ve wasted my nights, you turned out the lights, now I'm paralyzed
                   |E                      |B                 |G#m            |F#  |
Still stuck in that time, when we called it love, but even the sun sets in paradise

        |E                  |B                   |G#m              |F#  |
I'm at a payphone, trying to call home, all of my change I spent on you
              |E                     |B                       |G#m              |F#  |
Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
              |E          |B                     |G#m             |F#  |
If "happy ever after" did exist, I would still be holding you like this
               |E                |B                     |G#m               |F#      |
All those fairy tales are full of shit, one more fucking love song, I'll be sick, oh

|E                                 |B                           |
   You turned your back on tomorrow, ’cause you forgot yesterday
|G#m                           |F#                         |
   I gave you my love to borrow,  but you just gave it away
|E                               |B                           |
   You can't expect me to be fine,  I don't expect you to care
|G#m                              |F#                       |
   I know I've said it before, but all of our bridges burned

|E                   |B                         |G#m                |F#   |
 down, I’ve wasted my nights, you turned out the lights, now I'm paralyzed
                   |E                      |B                 |G#m            |F#  |
Still stuck in that time, when we called it love, but even the sun sets in paradise

        |E                  |B                   |G#m              |F#  |
I'm at a payphone, trying to call home, all of my change I spent on you
              |E                     |B                       |G#m              |F#  |
Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
              |E          |B                     |G#m             |F#  |
If "happy ever after" did exist, I would still be holding you like this
               |E                |B                     |G#m               |F#                |
All those fairy tales are full of shit, one more fucking love song, I'll be sick, now I’m at a

|E                             |B                                                          |
 Payphone, man, fuck that shit, I’ll be out spending all this money while you sitting round
|G#m                                              |
 Wondering why wasn't you who came up from nothing
|F#                                                        |
 Made it from the bottom, now when you see me I'm strutting
|E                                               |
 And all of my cars start with a push of a button
|B                                                    |
 Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever you call
|G#m                                                        |
 it, switched the number to my phone so you never could call
|F#                                                           |
 it, don’t need my name on my show you can tell it I'm ballin'

|E                                          |B                                                |
   Swish, what a shame could have got picked,  had a really good game but you missed your last
|G#m                                           |
 shot, so you talk about who you see at the top
  |F#                                                   |
Or what you could have saw, but sad to say it's over for
|E                                |B                                              |
   Phantom pulled valet open doors,  wiz like go away got what you was looking for
|G#m                                                      |F#                           |
   Now it's me who they want, so you can go, and take that little piece of shit with you

        |E                  |B                   |G#m              |F#  |
I'm at a payphone, trying to call home, all of my change I spent on you
              |E                     |B                       |G#m              |F#  |
Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
              |E          |B                     |G#m             |F#  |
If "happy ever after" did exist, I would still be holding you like this
               |E                |B                     |G#m               |F#  |
All those fairy tales are full of shit, one more fucking love song, I'll be sick
            |E       |
Now I’m at a payphone
