[G] [Bm] Operator, [G] oh could you [Am] help me place this call?
[G]
[Am] See the number [F#] on the [G] matchbook is [Em] old and faded
[D] She's [A]
[G] living in [Bm] L.A. [G] with my best [Am] old ex-friend, [G] Ray
[Am] [D] Gosh, she said she knew well and [Em] sometimes hated
[D] Isn't [G] [C] that the way [G] the estate goes?
[C] Well let's [D] forget all [G] that and give me the [Am] number if you can [C] find it
So [Em] I can [Bm] call just to [D] tell them I'm [Am] fine and to show
[D] I've [C] overcome the blow, I've learned to [G] take it well
I only [A] wish my words could just [C] convince myself
That it just wasn't [D] real
[C] But that's not the [G] way it feels
[Am] [Am]
[G] [Bm] Operator, [C] oh could you [Am] help me [G] place this call?
[Am] I can't read [D] the number [Em] that you just gave me
[D] [G] There's something [Bm] in my eyes, you know [Am] it happens [G] every time
[Am] I think about the [D] love that [Em] I thought would save me
[G] [Bm]
[G] Isn't that the [C] way [G] the estate goes?
[C] Well let's [D] forget all [G] that and give me the [Am] number if you can find it
So [Em] I can [Bm] call just to tell them [Am] I'm fine and to show
[D] I've [C] overcome the blow, I've learned [Bm] to take it well
I only [Am] wish my words could just [C] convince myself

[C] But that's not [G] the way it feels
[C] No, no, [G] no, no
[C] That's not [G] the way it feels
Operator, [Am] oh let's forget about this [G] call
There's [Am] no [D] one there [G] I really [Em] wanted to talk to
[D] Thank [G]
you [Bm] for your time
[C] Oh you've been so much more than [G] kind
[Am] You [D] can keep the [G] dime
[Em] [D] [G]
[G] Isn't [C] that the way the [G] estate goes?
[C] Well let's forget [D] all [G] that and give me the [Am] number if you can find it
