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