She left without leaving a number,
         C                   G
Said she needed to clear her mind.
   C             D            Em
He figured she'd gone back to Austin,
           C                       D
'Cause she talked about it all the time.
G/B             C            D
It was almost a year, before she called him up.
G/B                C      
Three rings and an answering machine,
D4        D
Is what she got:


          G                 Em
If you're calling 'bout the car, I sold it.
C                  D4       D
If this is Tuesday night, I'm bowling.
Em                         G                         C
If you've got something to sell, you're wastin' your time,
        D4   D
I'm not buyin'.
       G       Am7                G
If its anybody else, wait for the tone,
                 C  
You know what to do.
Am      F             D4   D
  And P.S, if this is Austin...
        C         G   C   G
I still love you.



    C                     G              
The telephone fell to the counter.
      C                         G
She'd heard, but she couldn't believe.
C            D         Em
What kind of man would hang on that long,
C                           D
What kind of love that must be.
G/B              C              D
She waited three days, and then she tried again.
G/B                        C
She didn't know what she'd say,
        D4                  D
But she heard three rings and then:


        G                 Em
If it's Friday night, I'm at the ballgame,
    C                   D4    D
And first thing Saturday, if it don't rain.
Em                    G                 C                D4  D
I'm headed out to the lake, and I'll be gone all weekend long.
         G                  Am     
But I'll call you back when I get home
   G           C    
On Sunday afternoon.
Am      F             D4    D
  And P.S, if this is Austin...
        G
I still love you.

Well this time she left her number,
    Em
But not another word.
         Eb             
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evening,
D4                  D       D4  D 
  And this is what he heard:


          A9             F#m
If you're calling 'bout my heart,

Its still yours.
D                 E4    E
  I should listen to it a little more.
F#m                     E           D
  Then it wouldn't have taken me so long
               E
To know, where I belong.
    A             B              A                    D
And by the way boy, this is no machine you're talkin' to.
Bm          G                 E4    E
  Can't you tell that this is Austin...
            D         A   D   A
And I still love you.
        D          A  D   A
I still love you....
