[A] _ [Am] _ [C] _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ [Bm] Operator, [G] could you [Am] help me place this [G] call?
[Am] See the number on [G] the matchbook [Em] is old and faded
[D] [G] Living [G] _ in L [Bm].A. [G] with my [Am] best old ex-friend, [G] Ray
_ [Am] Gosh, she [D] said she knew well and [Em] sometimes hated
[D] Isn't _ [G] that [C] the way the [G] estate goes?
Well, [C] let's forget [D] all that [G] and give me the number [Am] if you can [C] find it
[D] So I [Em] can call [Bm] just to tell him [D] I'm fine [Am] and to show
_ [D]
I've overcome [C] the blow, I've learned to take [G] it well
I only wish [Am] my word could just convince [C] myself that it just [D] wasn't real
[C] But that's not the way it [G] feels _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ [G] _ [Bm] Operator, [G] could you help me place this call?
_ [Am] I can't [D] read the number that you [Em] just gave me
[D] _ [G] _ There's something in [Bm] my eyes, [Bm] you know it [Am] happens [G] every time
I [Am] think about [D] the love that I thought [Em] would save me
[C] _ [Am] _ [G] Isn't [C] that the way the [G] estate goes?
[C] Well, let's forget [D] all that [G] and give me the [Am] number if you can find [D] it
So I [Em] can call [B] just to tell [D] him I'm [Am] fine and to show
[D]
I've overcome [C] the blow, I've learned to take [Bm] it well
I only wish [Am] my word [C] could just convince myself that it just [D] wasn't real
[C] But that's not the way [G] it feels
[C] No, no, no, [G] no
_ [C] That's not the [G] way it feels
Operator, well, [Am] let's forget about this call
[G] _ [Am] No one [D] there I [G] really wanted [Em] to talk [G] to
