Someone is listening on my phone when I show up on the grid
               Am                       Em     F
Me--I'm just a loner in a world full of kids - egos, and ids.

Am                 Bb
Over mountains and far away
        Dm      C            Em            C

And from the bartender, complimentary mugs
                    Am                       C
Oh, if only I could stay a while, what am I afraid of?

            F             Em                      Fmaj7
                            I'm falling in love


Notes:
The last F on each of the verses should be an F power chord on low E, rather than 
a open/barre chord.
The last G during the bridge is similar.
All of the chords during the bridge except the last G should be barred from the A string,
	e.g. Am - x0221x, Bb - x13331x, C - x35553, Dm - x57765, Em - x79987
Last chord - xx3210
