Verse:
But I'm just talking to a satellite20
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night20
Yeah, we're living in a modern world.
All I had to do was pick up the phone20
I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone20
[D]Yeah, we're living[Bm] in a [A]modern [D]worl[(D-C#m)]d.

Pre-Chorus:
She left a number I could call20
But no one's there, no one at all20
There must be something going wrong20
That number just rings on and on.

Chorus:20
Calling America (can't get a message through)20
Calling America (that's what she said to do)20
Calling America (that's where she has to be)20
Calling America (she left a number for me)20
Calling America.
