Biography:
Rachael Yamagata (born on September 23, 1977 in Arlington, Virginia) is a singer-songwriter. She plays piano and acoustic guitar, and her dark, smokey alto garners frequent comparisons to Fiona Apple. Her first full-length album, Happenstance, was released on June 8, 2004.
Yamagata became the vocalist for the Chicago funk-fusion band Bumpus, spending six years with them while writing and recording three albums and touring the country. However, she began to write songs which took on a style that conflicted with the funk vision of the band.

Intro: D G (4x)
D G D G
Oh why don't you call when you say you will my dear

Is it because I don't belong to you
D G D G
And why don't you come when you say you will my dear
D G D G
Do you really think it will work out wrong
A Bm G A
A Bm G
D G D G
What if I leave? What if I leave?
D G D G
What if I leave? What if I leave?
D G D G
Why don't you call? Don't you miss me at all?
D G D G
Left a long, long time ago to where the weather was better for his kind
D G D G
Why won't you play with a girl who loves your face?
D G D G
I may be a fool all along but I never understood these rules
A Bm G A
A Bm G
[Chorus]
A Bm G

D (only drums...)
So I grow up longing for another
With the windy city left behind to my lover
D G D G
Will you ever know the way I cry
D G D G
You were gone that day, so you may have missed my goodbye
A Bm G
Sometimes in my dreams I hear you say
A Bm G
"If you really care you won't go away"
[Chorus 2x]
Outro: D G D G (4x, fade out on 5th time...)
