Maroon 5 – Payphone

Probably on the LSS list of most people right now is Maroon 5’s latest hit Payphone. This song is a little bit harder to play because of the bar chords, but with practice, your bar chords should sound like ours. Tabs are available on the video. For some of the verses, you can play around and just hit the bass strings for added effect. The lyrics and chords are provided below.

I’m at a [E]payphone trying to [B*]call home
All of my [G#m]change I spent on [F#]you
Where have the [E]times gone
Baby it’s [B*]all wrong, where are the [G#m]plans we made for [F#]two?
Yeah, [E]I, I know it’s hard to remember
[B]The people we used to be
[G#m]It’s even harder to picture
[F#]That you’re not here next to me
[E]You say it’s too late to make it
[B]But is it too late to try?
[G#m]And in our time that you wasted
[F#]All of our bridges burned down

[E]I’ve wasted my nights
[B]You turned out the lights
[G#]Now I’m paralyzed
[F#]Still stuck in that [E]time when we called it [B]love
But even the [G#m]sun sets in paradise[F#]

I’m at a [E]payphone trying to [B*]call home
All of my [G#m]change I spent on [F#]you
Where have the [E]times gone
Baby it’s all [B*]wrong, where are the [G#m]plans we made for [F#]two?

If happy ever [E]after did exist[B*]
I would still be [G#m]holding you like this[F#]
All those fairy[E]tales are full of shit[B*]
One more stupid [G#m]love song I’ll be sick[F#]

You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can’t expect me to be fine
I don’t expect you to care
I know I’ve said it before
But all of our bridges burned down

I’ve wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I’m paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I’ll be sick

Now I’m at a payphone…

[Wiz Khalifa]
Man work that shit
I’ll be out spending all this money while you sitting round
Wondering why it wasn’t you who came up from nothing
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I’m stunning

And all of my cars start with the push up a button
Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever you call it
Switched the number to my phone
So you never could call it
Don’t need my name on my show
You can tell it I’m ballin’

Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could’ve saw
But sad to say it’s over for

Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now ask me who they want
So you can go and take that little piece of sh*t with you

I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I’ll be sick

Now I’m at a payphone…
