C
One Day A Man From 1970 Gave Me A Call
Am
He Had Dirty Blonde Hair 
Am
And Compared To Me He’s Pretty Tall
F
He Had Lime Green Eyes 
F
And Bigger Hands I Wish That I Could Hold
G
And We’d Spend 8 In The Evening 
G
Talking On The Telephone

C
He’s So Full Of Himself And 
C
Likes Making Sadistic Jokes.
Am
But There’s Something That I’m So In love 
Am
With In The Way He Spoke
F
And The Way He Draws, 
F
The Way He Sings Along To His Guitar
G                               G
If Only The Distance Between Us Wasn’t So That Goddamn Far.

[Chorus]
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I Love It Whenever He
F
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The Fact That He’s Obsessed With Me
G
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me Flowers From 1970

[Verse 2]
C
As I'm falling for him more and more,
C
The more it'll hurt the day he leaves
Am                                   Am
And when I hear his voice it's like it's straight out of a dream
F                              F
I would do things for him that completely messes my routine
G                             G
so even just for a minute it'd feel like he's right next to me

C                                  C
I would take time out of busy days so I could hear his laugh
Am                                 Am
listen to his favorite songs while staring at his photograph
F                                   F
I needed him, I wanted him, right person but wrong time
G                              G
and on September 9, the telephone cord cut the line

C                         C
but you said it yourself, flowers from 1970 
Am                          Am
couldn't last that long and you were my flower
F                           F
and for one last time I said "goodbye old man" 
G                                  G
you said "you take care of those flowers, wrong number."

[Chorus]
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I Love It Whenever He
F
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The Fact That He’s Obsessed With Me
G
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me Flowers From 1970

[Interlude]
C Am F G

[Chorus]
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
and he made me feel so special but it broke me when he
F
asked for closure, proof that in 1970, a man
G
who didn't even exist yet had loved me.

[Verse 3]
C                       C
you said you just can't have your heart in 2020 with me
Am                       Am
when your heart belongs there in 1970
F                                   F
maybe in another life we'd do the things we couldn't do
G                              G
so I'd hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you.

Am                             Em
Now My Only Memories Of Him Are Handprints On The Wall.
F
And That Faded Green Paint 3 Familiar Words Were Written Under
         G
Once Upon A Time, Same Room, Same House, 50 Years Apart.
