This is a beautiful, lesser known Guess Who song.
On the Am7 you can go back and forth from (x02010) to (x02030) to mimic the piano
melody, and on Fmaj7 from (xx3210) to (xx3230).

Don't wanna listen to my telephone ring
Or sing ding-a-ling or talk about a thing
Em9 (022032) or (020002)
Not this mornin'
I don't wanna think about the night before
Or maybe it's a bore behind that open door
Got no time for that this mornin'
If I had the mind or I had the time
Maybe I could throw together a new kind of rhyme
And tell about my warnin'
But it's too late now
It's too late now
It's too late now
I don't wanna think about a runaway Dad
That took away the only thing that I've ever had
Don't even miss him this mornin'
I don't wanna think about a cold goodbye
Or a high school buddy got a little too high
I can't help him out this mornin'
Reviewers laugh at me so I go out to sea
And perhaps it's just as well, 'cause I'd rather be in hell
Than be a wealthy man this mornin'
But it's too late now
It's too late now
It's too late now

Whatever happened to images, 'cause now they're gone
/
And worn out phrases just keep a-hangin' on
/
Whatever happened to homes as opposed to houses?
/
A conversation swaying as the evening drowses
/ /
It's just like 4 6 2 O 1
/ /
It's just like 4 6 2 O 1
/
Whatever happened to early morning urban skies?
/
And broken faces, half with melting eyes
/
Enough of riddles that just play with time
/
'Cause I'm still here and I can't beg a dime
/
I'm back here in 4 6 2 O 1
/ /
I'm back here in 4 6 2 O 1
Somethin better's waitin' for me 'round the corner now
/
I gotta find it and try and hang on for a little while
/
Back here in 4 6 2 O 1, yeah
/ /
Mmm, there's gotta be a few small changes made
Don't wanna listen to my telephone ring
Or sing ding-a-ling or talk about a thing
Leave me alone this mornin'
