R.E.M. - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite: chords

F                                        C
This here is the place where I will be staying
      F
There isn't a number, you can call the pay phone
 C                                    F
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time

If I don't pick up, hang up,
 Am                C             F C
call back, let it ring some more,
   F
If I don't pick up, pick up
                 C                          D
The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil

Chorus:
 D                       G
Call me when you try to wake her up,
                         Am
call me when you try to wake her
 D                       G
Call me when you try to wake her up,
                         Am
call me when you try to wake her
 D                       G
Call me when you try to wake her up,
                        Am      C Em
call me when you try to wake her

There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up
But this machine can only swallow money
You can't lay a patch by computer design
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs
Tell her
Tell her she can kiss my ass
Then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way she'll know that it's really,
really, really, really me

Chorus

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
Today I need something more
sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or black-eyed peas,
some Nescafe and ice
A candy bar, a falling star,
or a reading from Doctor Seuss

Chorus

Bm
The cat in the hat came back,
  Am                           Bm
wreaked a lot of havoc on the way
                                Am
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend
              Bm
But their world has flat backgrounds
           Am                     C
and little need to sleep but to dream
                 Em
The sidewinder sleeps on his back

Chorus:
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
Oh
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
Oh

[Outro]
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
We've got to boogie, boogie, move on this one
