I'm Straight

This song has pretty much the same structure throughout, like this:

    E                 E               C               G  (F#)    E
e|--0---------------|-0-------------|-0-------------|------------0----|
B|--0---------------|-0-------------|-1-------------|------------0----|
G|--1---------------|-1-------------|-0-------------|------------1----|
D|--2---------------|-2-------------|-2-------------|------------2----|
A|--2---------------|-2-------------|-3-------------|-2----------2----|
E|--0---------------|-0-------------|-X-------------|-3---2--0---0----|

Basically an E C G E pattern with a little bass run between the G and
the E. Repeat this pattern for the entire song, except where there are
single chords, as in the beginning. N.C. means "no chord."



  E                        E
I called this number three times already today
     C                      G F#      E 
But I, I got scared, I put it back in place, 

I put my phone back in place.
E                      E
I still don't know if I should have called up.
      C                                 G  F#   E 
Look, just tell me why don't ya if I'm out of place.
       E                                   E
'Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
              C                       G    F#        E 
And wish that I had    never even called up this place.


E                                  E
I saw you though today walk by with hippie Johnny.
      E              C                     G   F#   E 
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place.
        E                         E
So this phone call today concerns hippie Johnny.
     E        C             G   F#   E 
He’s always stoned, he’s never straight.
  E                                    E
I saw you today, you know, walk by with hippie Johnny.
               E            C                G   F#   E 
Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place.

               E              E
See he's stoned, hippie Johnny.
                    E           C            G   F#   E 
Now get this, I'm straight and I want to take his place.
                         E                    E
Now look, I like him too, I like hippie Johnny
            E           C            G   F#   E 
But I’m I'm straight and I want to take his place.


                    E      C
I said, I'm straight
                    E      C
I said, I'm straight
                E      C
I'm proud to say
          E           C            G   F#   E 
Well I'm straight and I want to take his place.

         E                    E                             C
Now I've watched you walk around here. I've watched you meet these
                             G    F#     E 
boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they're deep.
    E                    E
Look but, if these guys, if they're really so great,
                   C                                G    F#     E 
tell me, why can't they at least take this place and take it straight?

                 E                      E
Why always stoned, like hippie Johnny is?
     E             C        G   F#   E 
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
                           E                      E
Oh I'm certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is.
     E             C        G   F#   E 
I'm straight and I want to take his place.


                    E      C
I said, I'm straight
                    E      C
I said, I'm straight
    E      C          E             C 
I'm              I'm straight and I want to


   G     F#        E 
All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?

      E          C
(I'm straight!)    Tell the world now
      E          C
(I'm straight!)    I said
      E          C
(I'm straight!)
     E             C        G   F#   E 
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
