_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] Operator, oh [C] could you help me place this call?
[G] _
_ [Am] You see the number [F#] on the [Bm] matchbook is [Em] old and faded
_ _ [D] _ [F#] _ _
_ [G] She's living in LA with my [C] best old ex-friend [A] Ray _
_ [Am] _ Gosh, she said she [Bm] knew well and sometimes [Em] hated
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ Isn't that the [C] way they say it [G] goes?
But let's [C] forget [D] all that and [G] give me the number [Am] if you can find it
So I can [Em] call just [Bm] to tell [D] him I'm fine and [Am] to show
_ _ [D] I've overcome the [C] blow, I've learned to take it [Bm] well
I only wish my [A] words could just [Am] convince [C] myself that it just wasn't [D] real
_ [C] But [G] that's not the way it feels
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] Operator, oh [C] could you help me place [G] this call? _
_ _ [Am] I can't [D] read the number [Bm] that you [Em] just gave me
_ _ [E] _ _
_ [G] There's something in my [Bm] eyes, _ you know it [Am] happens every [A] time _
_ [Am] _ I think about [D] the [Bm] love that I thought would save [Em] _ me
[D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ Isn't that the [C] way they say it [G] goes?
But [C] let's forget [D] all that [G] and give me the number [Am] if you can find it
So I can call [Bm] just to tell him I'm [D] fine [Am] and to show
_ _ [D] _ I've overcome [C] the blow, I've learned to take it [Bm] well
I only wish [A] my words could [Am] just convince [C] myself that it just wasn't [D] real
[C] But that's not [G] the way it feels
_ _ [C] _ No, no, no, [G] no
_ _ _ [C] _ That's not the way [G] it feels
_ _ Operator, [Bm]
oh [C] let's forget about [G] this call
There's [Am] _ no one [F#] there I really [Em] wanted to talk to
_ [D] So _ [Bm] _
_ _ [G] thank you for your [Bm] time _
You've been so much [Am] more than [A] kind _
_ [Am] _ You can keep the [D] dime _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ Isn't that the [C] way they say [G] it goes?
But [C] let's [D] forget all that [G] and give me the number [Am] if you can find it
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 it [Bm] well
I only wish [A] my words could [Am] just convince [C] myself that it just wasn't [D] real
[C] But that's [G] not the way it feels
